Van Crashes Through New Jersey Pizzeria

A van crashed into a pizza shop in Camden County Tuesday night.

Officials say an 88-year-old man crashed his van into Mama Nuccio’s Pizzeria on the 600 block of Warwick Road in Somerdale, New Jersey.

Police told NBC10 the driver mistakenly believed his vehicle was in reverse and accelerated, crashing through the glass store front. The shop's owner and employees were inside at the time. No one was injured however.

"Everybody thought I was hurt because I was in the dining room," said Robert Croce, the owner of the shop. "Usually I come back to the register so they were looking for me. When they found out I was in the dining room, we all called each other's name." 

Crews removed the van but there is extensive damage to the building. Officials have not yet revealed whether the elderly driver will face any charges.
