Brookline Police posted these pictures on Twitter Monday afternoon, noting that fortunately no one was hurt in the crash in front of the Brookline Library.

The Brookline TAB reported that a woman in her 70s accidentally hit the gas too hard while backing up. She first hit a handicapped parking sign, before sliding up the sign’s pole to the library’s handicap ramp railing, according to the report.
