Driver charged with DUI after crashing into convenience store in NH

A driver was charged with DUI after crashing into a convenience store in New Hampshire, according to Allenstown Police.

Jonatha Decker and her friend Rachel Denoncourt were in the middle of buying candy at the Circle K in Allenstown when a car suddenly crashed through the wall.

"I thought that she was trying to kill us," Decker said. "I thought we were being attacked."

Denoncourt said she couldn't see the driver before the crash that left a path of destruction through the front of the store.

"Like, I didn't even know the car was coming because she didn't have headlights on," Denoncourt said. "Maybe if she did, I would have seen it. But, all I know is I'm on the ground and I look and there's just glass falling everywhere."

Denoncourt said she was covered in shattered glass, leaving cuts all over her legs and stitches in her hand.

"We got up and she was covered in blood," Denoncourt's friend said. "It was everywhere, and she was crying and saying she was bleeding."

Then, they saw the driver backing up quickly before they allegedly came towards the store again.

"We got each other up and we ran," the third teen said.

During the second time, however, the driver simply parked and got out.

Police say the woman is now charged with driving under the influence.

"I'm just glad everyone came out alive, because it was very like, 'Wow!'" Denoncourt said.

The cashier in the store was also okay after the close call, and Denoncourt's sister was outside of the store during the crash.

"It was honestly traumatizing," Nicole Denoncourt said. "I had a nightmare last night thinking, like if I was in that store, I could have been dead. I honestly saw them go down and I didn’t see them get back up, so my first thought was, they’re dead."

Denoncourt said when the driver got out, she put her hands up and looked confused.

The driver now faces several charges for the crash.
