A New Richland woman was taken to the hospital after her vehicle reportedly crashed into a garage on Marie Avenue at 7:04 p.m. Saturday.

Police stated Marilyn Stenzel, 84, was driving a 2012 GMC Acadia east on Fairview Drive approaching the intersection with Marie Avenue when instead of hitting the brake, she hit the accelerator and drove up a driveway and hit the garage at 1302 Marie Ave., driving straight into the structure.

The garage was moved partly off the foundation, and Stenzel was taken by ambulance to Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea for injuries deemed not life-threatening.
