Update: Vehicle Crashes Into Sonora DMV Building
Update at 12:50 p.m.: The CHP tells Clarke Broadcasting that the driver who crashed into the Sonora DMV building at 885 Morning Star Drive this morning was a 71-year-old woman in a Ford sedan. The incident happened around 10:40 a.m. CHP spokesperson Officer Jason Kremsdorff relayed that the unidentified driver hit the gas pedal instead of the brake, causing the car to go over a concrete parking block and a curb before hitting the side of the building’s entrance.
