TN STATE REPRESENTATIVE CRASHES CAR INTO GIFT SHOP – BLAMES DOG

Matheny Car Hits ShopWell there’s something you don’t see everyday…a car sitting smack dab in the middle of a gift shop.  But there’s a good reason for this particular setting.  The driver says his dog made him do it. That’s right, State Rep. Judd Matheny says his dog caused him to crash his car into a gift shop in Tullahoma.

The Tullahoma News reports that Matheny’s car careened through a parking lot and into Martha’s Flowers and Gifts on Monday morning.

Matheny said his dog had jumped into the front seat of his 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis and that the lawmaker tried to brake but mistakenly hit the gas.

The shop was open, but police say nobody was injured.
