Police said the Toyota Camry ended up about three feet inside the Puritan Cleaners.

No one inside the cleaners — or the woman driving the car or a three-year-old passenger — was injured.

“We just had a car drive into our Twin Hickory location,” the business posted on its Facebook page. “Praise the Lord our employees and the driver are safe and well.”

Puritan also posted a photo of the damage, which showed the car jumped the curb, smashed two windows and damaged the window frames.
