A woman and her dog were not injured after she accidentally drove into the front of the Bainbridge Rite Aid on High School Road just before 4 p.m. Monday.

Bainbridge police responding to the incident said that the woman was parked in a handicap spot facing the Rite Aid.

When leaving, she backed up first into the handicap sign with her Subaru Outback then hit the gas too hard to pull forward.

She drove forward into the brick building and rounded one of the concrete pillars at its entrance.

The woman’s pet dog was riding passenger in the vehicle when the incident occurred.

Officers said both the driver and her dog were not hurt.

The accident was the sixth time this year that a driver struck the front of a business on Bainbridge.

The odd string of accidents began in April when a taxi van leaving the ferry terminal hit the outside of the San Juan Building on Winslow Way.

Later that month, a driver accidentally drove into a vacant storefront next door to Sole Mates Shoes & Outerwear in the Island Village Shopping Center on High School Road.

In early May, a man was parking outside the Subway sandwich shop when he missed the brake and hit the gas instead and struck the building.

In late May, another driver escaped injury when he drove his Lincoln LS sedan into the 911 Hildebrand building.

And in late September, a driver in a Mercury Sable banged into the Madison Diner and damaged the building’s facade.
