Grocery Store Parking Lot Crash

    Injuries were avoided, but property was damaged on Thursday, August 26, when a driver in the parking lot at the Woodlands Publix reversed through a parking spot, striking an adjoining vehicle and additional property.
   Eustis Police Department reports state that around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, a Hyundai driven by Lyndon Foley, 87, of Eustis was in a parking space next to a Toyota driven by Betty Asklof, 87, of Umatilla. Foley reversed, striking the Toyota in the right passenger side before jumping the curb at the back of the parking lot and traveling several feet. Along the way, the vehicle struck a Publix parking sign and a cable box.
   Additionally, two water pumps were struck.
   Duke Energy responded to the scene, as did the Eustis Fire Department.
   Asklof’s vehicle was able to be driven from the scene, and Foley was cited for improper backing.
