A woman accidentally drove a van into a brick wall of CVS Pharmacy at 2259 Langhorne Road on Friday, authorities said.

No one was seriously injured in the collision, according to Alex Lucy, an officer with the Lynchburg Police Department’s traffic safety unit.

The driver of the van was transported to Lynchburg General Hospital for precautionary reasons, Lucy said.

Police and the Lynchburg Fire Department responded to the wreck at 2:04 p.m.

Lucy said an ongoing investigation determined the driver accidentally accelerated and plowed the vehicle into a side wall of the building.

The vehicle knocked down several shelves inside the store but did not strike any customers or store employees.

The crash forced the store to close Friday afternoon. Police have roped off the building's entrance and a city official from the inspection office was called in to evaluate the damage.

Employees at the scene declined to comment.
