A Fair Haven woman was uninjured when her car smashed through the facade of the borough post office Tuesday night.
Police Chief Joe McGovern said the crash occurred at 6:19 p.m. when the 89-year-old motorist hit her accelerator instead of the brake when pulling into a parking space.
Her car ended up fully inside the post office, but stopped just inches from the counter but caused no structural damage or interior disruption other than to a door frame.
The postal facility remained closed Thursday, with a possible reopening Friday, said a post office official.
