A car drove through Five Star Gateway Gas Wednesday afternoon, sending one person to the hospital and another to jail as a 52-year-old East Taunton woman was arrested and charged with operating under the influence of alcohol.

According to Wareham Fire Department Assistant Chief John Kelley, one shopper in the gas station, located at 2537 Cranberry Highway, was injured when the driver of the car crashed into the building at approximately 12:30 p.m., going through the glass windows of the storefront. Chief of Police Kevin Walsh said the injury sustained was "minor."

The employee in the gas station at the time was uninjured.

The car's driver, Laurie Texeira, refused medical treatment and was given a sobriety test. Texeira was then handcuffed and escorted into the back of a police car. She was placed under arrest for operating under the influence, Walsh said.

According to a police press release, this was Texeira's second operating under the influence arrest. Police said Texeira was uninjured after the crash. She was released on her own recognizance on June 22 following an arraignment in Wareham District Court. Her next court date is scheduled for Aug. 10 for a pre-trial hearing.

The individual who was hurt while in the gas station was taken to the hospital, leaving his dog behind in his car. The dog was cared for by the Wareham Fire Department.

A building inspector arrived on the scene shortly after the incident and pronounced the building structurally sound enough to remove the car. The car was successfully removed from Gateway Gas at around 1:15 p.m. The gas station is shut down until further notice.

Shirley Andrews, who works next door to Gateway Gas, said she was in the gas station 15 minutes before the accident occurred purchasing a "doggone scratch ticket." Though Andrews did not witness the event, she said she felt lucky to have left the gas station in time to avoid it.

"Jesus take the wheel, that's all I say all the time," Andrews said.
