NATICK -- An 83-year-old woman had her license suspended on Friday after police say she smashed her car through the front of a Natick liquor store, pinning the cashier against the counter.

Both the driver and the cashier escaped with only minor injuries after the woman barreled through a plate-glass window at Fannon’s Liquors at 212 N Main St. at about 10:30 a.m., police said.

The driver, Jaqueline Sorensen, had her license suspended indefinitely following the crash. Sorensen’s driving record shows that she was charged for two accidents in the 1980s before Friday’s incident.

Witnesses told NewsCenter 5’s Cheryl Fiandaca it appeared Sorensen was trying to park in a handicapped parking space when her car accelerated into the building. Sorensen’s vehicle did have a handicapped license plate, but it is unknown if Sorensen has a disability.

“There were no signs of any breaking that occurred into the parking lot,” said Natick Police Lt. Brian Lauzon. “On the surface of the parking lot, there is an acceleration mark on the barriers prior to the window of the store.”

Sorensen, who was conscious after the crash, told fire officials that she did not remember what happened leading up to the wreck. She was transported to the hospital with chest pains.

The cashier, Deborah Brenkhorn, 51, was also hospitalized and treated for minor injuries.

“She’s in a lot of pain,” said Brenkhorn’s boyfriend, Ken Pringle. “Her arm and her neck are pretty shaken up, but other than that, I think she’s going to be alright.”

Police said that damage to the building is estimated at $50,000. Investigators will review surveillance footage from the store for evidence about the crash.

Donna Morris, a long-time friend and neighbor of the driver, said that she had discussed a recent string of high-profile car crashes involving elderly drivers with Sorensen before the wreck.

“We have been talking about all the accidents and she said, ‘That would be awful,’ … and she said, ‘Here I am. How did that happen?’” said neighbor Donna Morris.

The crash was the sixth involving an elderly driver in just over a month. In the most recent incident, an 84-year-old Malden woman died after a car driven by her elderly husband smashed into another vehicle in Woburn. A 4-year-old girl also died in June after police said an 88-year-old woman slammed into her as she crossed the street in Stoughton. The driver, Ilse Horn, is fighting a motor vehicle homicide citation in the crash.
