6:30 pm Monday – We received the following information from the Brownwood Police Department.

On Monday, July 5, 2021 at approximately 12:20 PM first responders with the Brownwood Police Department and Brownwood Fire Department were dispatched to the 1000 block of Coggin Avenue regarding a report of an accident. Witnesses reported to Communications that a pickup truck, driven by an elderly male, drove into the parking lot of Dominos and crashed through the store front.

When first responders arrived on scene they observed a newer model pickup completely inside the restaurant. It appeared that the driver entered the parking lot of the business and intended to park outside the front door.  Instead of applying the vehicle brakes, the driver accidentally accelerated.  No injuries were reported from the vehicle driver or the employees inside the restaurant.  The restaurant sustained extensive damage and was closed at this time pending repair.
