Locust Street in Glenwood at around 8:30-p.m., for a vehicle that struck the building. An investigation revealed a 2001 Toyota Camry driven by 75-year-old Bernard Stanek, of Glenwood, was pulling into a parking in front of the building, when he stepped on the accelerator pedal instead of the brake.
