A West Austin Randall's grocery store has reopened Wednesday morning after a car ran into the store Tuesday afternoon.
Police say an elderly woman was behind the wheel and accidentally hit the gas instead of her brakes, crashing into the store in the 2700 block of Exposition.
Shopper Jill Warren was in the checkout line when the car came through the door.
"I saw the bookcase with all the magazines coming towards me, just flying toward me. My reaction was obviously a car or something is coming through. So I ran down the aisle and I slid about 15 or 20 feet," Warren said.
Three people were transported to a hospital with non-serious injuries, and one other was treated on the scene.
The driver was injured, but she refused treatment and was taken home by a friend.

Jill Warren was in the express check out line when this Toyota came smashing through the door.
After the crash she said everything seemed to move in slow
motion.
"I ran down the aisle and slid down the aisle about 15 or 20 feet," Warren said.
There were two check stands in the car's path, and rescue workers said people in the store were very lucky.
"It could have been much worse. I think we skidded by this one quite well, it looks like we'll have no serious injuries," Warren Hassinger of Austin EMS said.
