Car Plows Through Bradenton Wellness Center | Tampa News

A car plowed through a Bradenton wellness center, narrowly missing an employee who was just five seconds away from being struck. The driver, an elderly woman, claimed her gas pedal stuck—or she hit gas by accident—and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. A woman sitting with her dog nearby suffered a puncture wound, but the dog escaped unharmed. Rain had moved outdoor cafe tables inside, likely preventing worse damage. The vehicle jumped a concrete pylon, causing major destruction to the wellness center and a neighboring rehab facility. The owner is stunned but focused on the victims, while the community rallies around the businesses as they begin recovery. Authorities are investigating, and reopening dates remain uncertain.
