Texan Denise Wilson Mistakes Convenience Store for Drive-Thru

Navasota, Texas

I’ve always wondered what life is like for a woman that looks like a man, is known around town as a lush and heading down a destructive path in a one-horse, backwards town.

Well, unfortunately I won’t be able to ask 36-year-old Denise Wilson. She’s now in a world of shit after crashing her vehicle into the Hi-Ho convenience store (which the name is newsworthy alone, don’t you think)?

Clerk Raj Kumar was taking advantage of a quiet moment to check his phone, but the moment didn’t last long.

"I was sitting down and not looking outside, just my phone, and I get up, look that way, turn around and then I got hit,” he explained.

The driver, 36-year-old Denise Wilson, told police she pushed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal as she was pulled into the store's parking lot.

After further investigation -- Police say Wilson was under the influence of alcohol, or as they say in Navasota, "drunker than Cooter Brown."

Surveillance footage shows Kumar checking his phone, and then getting up to stretch. Seconds later you can see Wilson's vehicle plowing through; Kumar was then thrown fifteen feet in the air.

Kumar was treated for minor injuries at an area hospital and says he couldn't wait to get back to work.

“I'm alive. I'm happy,” said Kumar.

Denise Wilson, on the other hand, was arrested for intoxication assault and taken to the Grimes County Jail. She was released after posting a $100,000 bond.
