MARQUETTE — A car crashed through the front of the CosmoProf store in Marquette Township early Thursday afternoon, resulting in damage to the building’s facade but no injuries.
Firefighters with the Marquette Township Fire Department said Michigan State Police troopers were dispatched to the site of the crash and left shortly after.
CosmoProf store manager Ellie Solieski and one other employee were the only ones working at the business when the crash occurred.
“I, luckily, was in the other corner, the back corner of the store,” Solieski said. “I thought one of our light fixtures had just fallen down and crashed on some product, and then I turned the corner and I see a car in the front of the store.”
She reported that aside from the wall, the only other damage done to the store was the two product displays that were hit by the car.
MSP said the driver, a 60-year-old female from Marquette, had attempted to park her car, a 2017 Lincoln passenger vehicle, in front of the business.
“It is believed the brakes failed” resulting the car to go into the building, MSP said in a news release.
The vehicle was towed from the scene by Mr. Wrecker.
