No one was hurt when a vehicle crashed into the Lookingglass Store early Tuesday.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office report said the accident was called in just after 5:30 a.m.

When the deputy arrived, he found the sedan crashed into the building with intrusion into the northwest corner. The report said it appeared the vehicle went straight through the T-intersection of Coos Bay Wagon Road and Lookingglass Road.

The deputy spoke with the driver, a 38-year-old man who said he had fog and frost on his windshield and realized he was coming up to the stop sign. The man claimed that he tried to brake but went through the intersection with his sedan hitting the store.

The report said there were heavy skid marks as well as frost on the roadway, indicating that the man did brake heavily. The store owner was contacted. The driver was cited for careless driving and not having an operator’s license.
