It was a scary moment for a grandmother who stopped at Sheetz in Tyrone yesterday morning.
\nTyrone Borough Police Chief Joe Beachem told The Daily Herald that at about 7:30 a.m. yesterday morning, a grandmother and her grandchild stopped at Sheetz and when they were finished at the counter, the 5-year-old girl darted out of the store and into the grandmother\u2019s van..
\nBeachem said the van began to drift, and when the grandmother ran out to try and stop the slow moving vehicle, she got pinned under the door of the vehicle.
\n\u201cI\u2019m sure it was truly a scary moment for her,\u201d said Beachem. \u201cShe\u2019s lucky she wasn\u2019t hurt more than she was.\u201d
\nBeachem said the woman, whose name wasn\u2019t released to the media, was transported to Tyrone Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Beachem said the 5-year-old was not hurt.
\n\u201cIt really could have been a whole lot worse,\u201d said Beachem.
\nHe did say, however, the drifting van crashed into a safety pole at one of the gasoline pumps and caused minor damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
