A burgundy sedan crashed into the Apopka Museum at 1:34 p.m. Monday afternoon, according to the Apopka Police Department. “I was coming back to take down our Christmas decorations, and I get a call from one of our board members saying that something was going on—looked like somebody may have crashed into the museum,” said Francina Boykin, vice president of the Apopka Historical Society board of directors. According to Boykin, a 93-year-old man arrived at the 150 E 5th Street utility billing office to pay his bill. Afterward, he pushed the gas pedal, ran over the plants and a millstone in front of the museum, and hit one of the poles holding up the roof of the museum’s front porch. Boykin said a police officer transported the driver home and that the driver refused treatment. Boykin said she felt sorry for the 93-year-old driver and requested prayer from the Apopka community. The museum is closed until further notice as a result of the accident, although Boykin said she hopes the museum opens as soon as possible. https://lnkd.in/gYf6AUya
