Socialites things are getting hectic out here! A 78-year-old woman is going viral after trying to find the Apple Store at the mall. Someone told her it was inside the plaza, so she drove her SUV onto the second floor.
The incident occurred on Thursday (Aug. 18) at the South Shore Plaza mall in Braintree, Massachusetts, which is about 14 miles south of Boston.
Family members say the elderly woman was attempting to find the Apple store when she drove her white Lincoln MKX through automatic doors and onto a pedestrian bridge, which connected the parking garage to the second floor of the shopping mall.
Local authorities say, “Due to a recent accident, one of the safety bollards was missing from the front of the entrance.” Once inside, the woman traveled about 60 yards down the mall’s central corridor, and the woman came to a stop just outside the Torrid store, about four stores south of where she entered. One witness said the woman asked her, “Do you know how to get out of here?” They replied, “Stay right here. I’ll get somebody.” But the woman kept driving forward. Fortunately, no injuries were reported and the Registry of Motor Vehicles has suspended the woman’s license. No charges have yet to be filed.
