(NBC) – A Grand Rapids, MI, hair salon had a hair-raising Saturday afternoon.

According to police, 82-year-old Marion Zock stepped on the accelerator pedal instead of the brake as she was attempting to park outside of the shop.

“It didn’t take any length of time at all, and all I kept thinking was, ‘Where’s the brake?’ I thought the store would stop me but it didn’t,” Zock said.

Two people were injured, an employee who returned to work after being treated, and a young girl who suffered a bruised arm.

Zock, who said she hasn’t had a ticket in 60 years, is a regular customer at the salon and stayed to go through with her appointment.

“I sat there with my face in my hands because I was so embarrassed,” Zock said.

Another vehicle crashed through the same storefront about eight years ago.

“When you’re behind the wheel of a car, you pay attention and you’re focused on your driving task,” Kent County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Kevin Kelley said.

“Quite often in cases like this, it is the result of inattentiveness,” said Kelley. 

Zock had cataract surgery not too long ago, but said her vision is fine and not at issue.  She will likely receive a ticket for reckless driving, a four-point citation.

Zock’s family still has confidence in her driving skills and isn’t encouraging her to give up her license, she said.

Classic Hair Design remained open as the car was removed.

The taxi driver pulled over at a petrol station with his passenger flipping the bird with both hands, screaming, and threatening him. Alarmed bystanders called police who arrested Houston when she wouldn´t pay for her ride.

Not content with her earlier efforts, Houston opted to make her permitted phone call from jail to call 911, telling the operator that she was “trapped inside the detention facility”. Unimpressed police added a charge of making a false 911 report.

Graves passed away Sunday just a few days before his 84th birthday outside his home in Los Angeles, publicist Sandy Brokaw said. Graves was returning from brunch with his wife of nearly 60 years and his family when he had what Graves’ doctor believed was a heart attack, Brokaw said.

Graves first gained attention of many baby boomers with the 1950s TV series “Fury,” but remained best known for the role of Jim Phelps, leader of a gang of special agents who battled evil conspirators in TV’s “Mission: Impossible.”

He also masterfully lampooned his straight-arrow image when he portrayed bumbling airline pilot Clarence Oveur in the 1980 disaster movie spoof “Airplane!”

Oakland County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a backyard sledding party in the 6000 block of Townview at 7:35 p.m. Sunday to aid the host, who had burns over 18% of his body, Undersheriff Mike McCabe said.

“Apparently, he has this sledding party every year, and he always does outrageous things at it, but he’s never blown himself up before,” McCabe said Monday.

The man had been drinking before the accident, McCabe said.

The man constructed the backpack from a used auto muffler, which he filled with gasoline and gunpowder, McCabe said. Wearing a motorcycle helmet, he got on an orange plastic sled.

“He asked another person to light a wick and then began to sled down a hill. At some point during the ride, the device exploded,” McCabe said.

The man, whom McCabe would not identify, suffered second-degree burns to his face and right side of his body, and possible eye damage.
