Title
Car crash through Bohn's window 1971
Description
A large sedan has backed into the front window of Bohn's Ace Hardware, taking out the posts that hold up a metal awning. A woman left her car running while she went to make a deposit at the State Bank (101 S. Benton). When she returned to the car, she heard it drop into gear. It jumped the curb and demolished a parking meter before crashing into the window. The driver was cited by the police for leaving a vehicle running while unoccupied.
