TEXARKANA, Texas (KTAL/KSHV) – The Texarkana Texas Police Department is investigating after an elderly woman crashed into a storefront.

The driver was not injured and was later picked up by family members. The department says no citations are expected to be issued in this incident.

Officials say the building suffered substantial damage but are thankful the crash wasn’t worse.
