Elderly, confused driver parks SUV on second level of Massachusetts mall

A disoriented elderly driver ended up driving onto the second floor of a shopping mall in Braintree, Massachusetts, after cruising through a set of automatic doors from the parking garage.

The geriatric driver was confused behind the wheel of her Lincoln SUV, and was only able to enter the enclosed mall because of a missing security bollard taken out by a prior accident, authorities said.

After the car crossed a pedestrian bridge from the parking garage at the South Shore Plaza mall, the automatic doors opened for her, allowing the SUV to travel about 60 yards inside the mall’s second floor.
