Two people were injured Tuesday morning when an SUV drove over a sidewalk, through a large glass window and crashed into a store in a Green Hills shopping center.

Thomas Higgins, the 84-year-old driver of the Jeep, told officers his “foot got stuck on the gas pedal,” said Kris Mumford, Metro police spokeswoman.

According to a Metro Nashville dispatcher, the vehicle crashed into Pottery Barn, located in the Hill Center shopping complex at 4011 Hillsboro Pike, around 10:43 a.m.

A 54-year-old Pottery Barn employee was also injured during the incident, being struck by glass and sustaining cuts on her arms and legs, Mumford said.

She was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment, while Higgins was being evaluated at St. Thomas.

A Metro Nashville traffic officer was at the scene investigating the collision.

The department hasn’t said whether Higgins will be cited for the crash, which left the SUV completely inside the store while shattered glass and debris from the vehicle remained on the sidewalk behind police tape Tuesday morning.

"We're just thankful there were not patrons or pedestrians hurt and that no one was seriously injured," Hill Center spokeswoman Amy Gray Kovar said at the scene.

Holly Coleman, a designer at nearby furniture store Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, said employees from the store brought out bottled water to the first responders at the scene.

“The biggest thing is that the store took more damage than anything else,” Coleman said.

A crew from A.B. Collier Wrecker Service required two separate units to recover the Jeep from inside the building and tow it away.

Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids are expected to reopen Thursday, Kovar said.
