WATERBURY, Conn. — A student driver smashed a car through the window of a Department of Motor Vehicles office in Connecticut Tuesday while taking her driver’s test, according to multiple reports.
The crash happened just before 11 a.m. as a 46-year-old Waterbury woman was taking her driver's test, the Republican-American reported, citing state police. The woman accidentally pressed her foot down on the accelerator instead of the brake as she was backing a car marked "student driver" into a parking spot outside the DMV, according to WVIT.
Photos posted to social media showed glass strewn across the tiles of the Waterbury DMV.
