Holiday shoppers were startled Saturday afternoon when a vehicle plowed into the front of a Bed Bath & Beyond store in Aventura.

A man driving a 1999 blue Chevy pickup truck lost control of his vehicle and it entered the front of the store on 19205 Biscayne Boulevard.

Two shoppers were treated for minor injuries on the scene after the 2:45 p.m. accident. Hans Maestre, a spokesman for Aventura Police Department, said charges are not likely to be filed since the crash was the result of a medically related incident. The driver was transported to the hospital for that condition.

As for the store, some quick cleanup and business was back to normal. “Busy!” said a store clerk.
