Beer: we're not the only one who wish we had beer right now

A woman in America plowed her car through the front window of a convenience store - and then, in an impressive display of savoir faire, tried to buy a six-pack of beer.

Lynne Rice, 74, drove her 1988 Cadillac into Joe's Food Mart and Video in Norwalk, California on Sunday evening, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Jenny Ha said.

The car plowed about halfway through the store but nobody was injured. Rice got out of the car, walked over to the cooler and pulled out a six-pack of Budweiser, said the store owner (who gave only his last name, Awada, to the Long Beach Press-Telegram).

'I don't know how she managed to walk,' Awada said, adding a cashier declined the sale and instead called police.

Rice was taken to a hospital for examination because she had a pre-existing medical condition, Lt. Ha said.

She was also arrested for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence and released on $15,000 bail, authorities said.

Rice could not be reached for comment Tuesday. There was no telephone listing with her name in Norwalk.

Awada said the crash destroyed two 6-foot-wide glass panels, with the damage estimated at about $8,000.
