Watch the moment novice driver mistakes accelerator for break and crashes into store

Surveillance cameras caught the frightening moment when a van plowed into a roadside store on Monday, injuring two people in Taijiang County, southwest China's Guizhou Province.

The van knocked over a man crossing the road before tearing through the store entrance and crushing a woman inside. With the help of local residents, the woman was freed after the vehicle was pulled out. The two injured people fortunately did not receive any life-threatening injuries.

According to the driver, he got into the stationary van and tried to change a song on the radio but unintentionally started the vehicle instead. Without a driving license or any training, he mistook the accelerator for the brake pedal and failed to stop the van hurtling into the store.
