INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - An elderly woman loss control of her SUV Wednesday afternoon and left a path of destruction.

A witness described the chaos.

"I was just sitting in my car getting ready to pull out and I kept hearing some commotion behind here in the beauty salon. Next thing I know someone ran into this house, reversed it, did it again, did it again and ran into the tree," said Sondra Henry, a witness.

Police said as Feeney backed out of the building a second time, she hit two more cars.

Fortunately, no one was in the architecture firm at the time. Authorities said Feeney's car hit the exact spot where an office desk is located.
