A driver who inadvertently stomped on the accelerator in the parking lot of the Woodlake Shopping Center in San Mateo Tuesday morning sent his Lexus into a pillar with such force that it left the ground on impact and came to rest on an unoccupied vehicle parked in the next stall, according to police.
The 64-year-old male driver had an undisclosed medical emergency, which caused the crash that also injured the 12-year-old male passenger. The driver suffered various facial injuries and the passenger suffered at least one leg fracture. Both were taken to a nearby trauma center with injuries that were not life threatening, according to police.
