A regular day at the convenience store turned deadly when a woman crashed her sedan into the business. Unfortunately a customer, Carlos Martinez, was in the path of the auto when it happened. She suffered serious facial and head injuries and was rushed to the hospital as soon as medical help arrived.

Teresa Petersen, the driver of the car, was driving on South Rancho Santa Fe Road when she veered off the road, crossed the 7-Eleven parking lot and crashed through the front door. The car went all the way through the store to back, hitting Martinez along the way. Petersen was also taken to the hospital to be examined.

At the time of the auto accident Deputy Tammy Bennetts estimates that she was traveling at a speed of about 40 mph. At this time investigators have not determined the cause of the accident and will continue to look into this case.

On Friday, both a driver of a car and a pedestrian suffered injuries during separate traffic accidents, say police.

The first accident took place before noon in Kearny Mesa.  According to officers, a man driving a Mercedes on Ruffin Road failed to stop at a red light.  This led to his vehicle crashing into a 1996 Jeep that was heading eastbound on Chesapeake.  The Jeep flipped over from the impact and its driver had to be taken to the hospital to receive treatment for a serious head injury.

At 1:30 PM, another accident occurred in downtown San Diego.  Police say that a woman in a 2000 Toyota 4-Runner was driving north on 2^nd Avenue and making a left hand turn when she caused a pedestrian accident.  The man she struck suffered a head injury and a broken femur, but his injuries were not classified as being serious.

Authorities report that alcohol did not play a role in either accident.
