Minutes of panic unfolded early Monday afternoon (13.07.2026) in Vrilissia, a northern suburb of Athens, when a car crashed into the glass façade of a shop.
According to reports, the vehicle was an automatic transmission model. The driver — a woman — reportedly became confused while attempting to reverse and instead engaged drive, accelerating forward unintentionally. The car struck and broke through the storefront of a women’s clothing store on Pentelis Street.
Luckily, no injuries were reported, according to the Orange Press Agency.
Local residents and the shop owner were left stunned by the scene: the vehicle came to rest inside the premises, causing extensive material damage to the shop’s frontage.
