A woman driving in violation of a learners permit got a
little more excitement than she bargained for Wednesday when she
set out on a quick trip to the store in Wasilla.
Alaska State Troopers responded to the Valley Country Store at
the corner of Church and Seldon Roads at 7:14 p.m. after
receiving a report that a car had crashed into the front of the
store, where they found Erica Magee, 20, Wasilla, who reported
that a mechanical failure caused her to lose control of the car
she was driving and hit the store.
It was learned that the vehicle was owned by Camilo Nantes, 31,
also of Wasilla, who allowed Magee to borrow the rig despite
knowing she didn't have a valid drivers license.
Camillo was issued a summons and a charge of driving in
violation of instructional permit against Magee will be
forwarded to the District Attorney's Office. |
