There were initial reports of injuries to building occupants but, thankfully, this turned out not to be the case.
The driver of the vehicle was treated for minor injuries on the scene, while her passenger, an older female, was transported to a local hospital for precautionary evaluation.
It is believed the driver pressed the gas pedal by mistake while intending to press the brake. There was no indication of impaired driving.

Mixing up the brake and the gas is not the sort of accident that can happen to anyone. It only happens to people who have no business driving. Somehow they still have driver's licenses.
A car is a deadly weapon. Think about what would happen in our state if someone was similarly incompetent with a gun. The cops would invoke the red flag law, confiscate all her guns on the spot, and she would have to go to court to try to convince a judge to let her have her guns back. In this case, was the driver's license revoked with the opportunity to get it back by going to court? Not a chance. And a driver's license is a privilege, not a constitutional right like gun ownership is.
Incompetent drivers are a menace in Seattle. Thank goodness nobody was seriously hurt this time.
This may have been a sick patient fainting or having a heart attack outside of a medical clinic. Keep calm before you judge
There's no evidence that this was a medical event. There is, however, strong evidence that the driver is a danger to herself and others, and she should find another way to get around.
It's not about judging her as a person. It's about taking her keys away before she hurts someone else.
