Trackside Antiques reopening

Trackside Antiques at 403 Market St. in Clinton will reopen for business today (June 22) at 11 a.m. after being closed since June 4 after a woman drove her car through the front of the building, causing heavy damage to store’s front and interior. No one was injured, according to police and witnesses. The crash, recorded on the store’s security camera inside, destroyed the front glass of the building and the entrance doors, and also damaged several merchandise displays inside near the front. Here, a worker puts the finishing touches on the repairs on Thursday, July 16.

Trackside Antiques owner Lerissa Douglas said that Sandy McCracken was working the checkout counter and watched the vehicle come through right in front of her.

Douglas said that no one was shopping or working on a booth at the front when the car plowed through the front, and no one was on the sidewalk out front at the time, either.
