A grocery store employee injured when an unlicensed driver crashed a car into the store in Jersey City




A grocery store employee suffered minor injuries when Sunday night when an unlicensed driver crashed a car into the store on the corner of Ocean and Lembeck avenues, police said.

The 19-year-old driver told police he was headed north and was turning left onto Lembeck Avenue from Ocean Avenue when a driver traveling south on Ocean caused him to lose control of his 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt.

The driver, of Suburbia Court in Jersey City, crashed into the storefront shattering a window and a glass door, as well as causing other damage, police said. A 51-year-old store employee was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center complaining of pain to his shoulder -- which was struck by the front door in the crash.


The 19-year-old was issued summonses, including one for being an unlicensed driver, police said.
