The accident, at the Pearl Street Consignment and Custom Clothes, happened at about 1 p.m., said police Chief Darren McConnell.
Jeanne Gordon, 66, of Red Bank, was parking a 2013 Volkswagen Beetle when she drove through the tall glass windows on the east side of the building at the corner of Pearl and Monmouth streets, he said.

Gordon was issued summons for careless driving, McConnell said.
