An elderly woman taking a test drive manages to run into a tree, her husband, a salesman, and another car all without leaving the dealership parking lot. The sales manager of Honda of Fort Myers says, "She must have panicked. " Joe Sica says Dorothy Byrum likely stepped on the wrong pedal when she put the new Honda Accord in reverse, causing the car to lurch backward. An open car door struck her 88-year old husband and the salesman along with another vehicle, a wall, and a tree. The impact caused the airbag to deploy. Authorities say Robert Byrum is in good condition following the accident, but the salesman is expected to miss about a week of work. Dorothy Byrum is unhurt, but the car is a complete write-off.
