Porter Square Books accident reported in Cambridge Chronicle

[ron_newman]

Since most davis_square folks probably don't read the Cambridge Chronicle, either in print or online, I'm posting a link to their article this week on the Porter Square Books accident.

One of the two women [customers], both of whom live on Buckingham Street, remained hospitalized in serious condition Tuesday. Her friend, who also sustained serious injuries, has been released. A third man who was sitting at the counter and an employee were briefly hospitalized Saturday.

The driver, Joan Puccino, 70, of Somerville, was cited for failing to use caution when parking and negligent operation, according to police spokesman Frank Pasquarello. She was apparently parking her white Chevy Suburban in a handicapped spot in front of the store when her foot got stuck on the accelerator just before noon on Saturday.

The Café Zing folks, who sublet space from the bookstore, hope to reopen within two weeks.
