Shopper Hospitalized After Driver Crashes Into Store on New Airport Road in Auburn
AUBURN, CA (May 19, 2023) — A shopper was injured after a car crashed into a store on New Airport Road near Grass Valley Highway.
According to Cal Fire, the incident happened at a Dollar Tree on New Airport Road in North Auburn. In the investigation, California Highway Patrol officers learned that a driver’s dog jumped into the car’s footwell. As a result, this forced the driver’s foot onto the accelerator.
Subsequently, the car went over the curb and crashed through the store’s window. An elderly shopper inside the store was not hit by the car but fell as a result of the accident.
Soon after, Placer County Fire responded to the scene and brought one of the shoppers to a hospital in an unknown condition.

A car that is on or moving can still put you at risk even though your car is stationed in a parking stall. Make sure all distractions are put away. From children to pets, keep them away from the pedal, wheel and transmission gear areas.
