Video: Woman 'brakes' Ten Commandments
By Chris Paschenko |  |
A woman mistook her throttle for the brake and crashed into a Ten Commandments monument. The woman, 20, was uninjured in the 2:48 a.m. Thursday crash , according to a Galveston police report. The woman prepared to turn west on Broadway when she saw another car drive through a red traffic light, almost striking her, the report states.

She "went to hit the brake, but she missed and hit the gas on accident," the officer wrote. The car crossed the median at 23rd Street and struck the Ten Commandments. There were no other witnesses to the incident.
