CORAL GABLES, Fla. – A gray SUV crashed into a Barnes & Noble store Wednesday afternoon in Coral Gables.

Coral Gables police spokeswoman Kelly Dunham said it appears the driver mistook the gas pedal for the brake before striking a pillar and crashing through the window of the store at 152 Miracle Mile.
