No injuries after car crashes into bank

LA MARQUE — No one was injured after a car crashed into a Regions Bank on Saturday.

A woman about 3 p.m. was parking a Pontiac Vibe in front of the bank, 6408 Interstate 45 in La Marque, when she accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes, Sgt. Reggie Rodriguez, of the La Marque Police Department, said.

No one was at the bank, which had closed at noon, Anthony Phillips, regional operations manager for Regions Bank, said.

The car crashed through an unused office.

The driver isn’t facing charges.

“It was just an unfortunate accident,” Rodriguez said.

Saturday was not the first time a car has driven into the bank.

Last year, a vehicle crashed through the front of the building in a similar accident, Phillips said.

Regions officials didn’t know how much repairs will cost. The bank will reopen Monday, Phillips said.
