A 91-year-old woman was unharmed after her car went over an embankment in Greenfield on Wednesday, reports the Greenfield Recorder.

“I was straightening my car out and hit the wrong pedal,” Theresa “Grace” Menard, of South Deerfield, told the newspaper.

First responders arrived at Cherry Rum Plaza where the accident occurred, but Menard was already out of the vehicle and declined medical transport.

Menard’s silver Toyota Corolla seemed to sustain minimal damage, according to the Recorder.

“Everbody’s been so good to me,” Mernard told the newspaper. “An accident happens to you and they’re all so helpful.”
