A car jumped the curb Friday afternoon at Beggs Sales and Service in Du Quoin smashing the front, destroying a steel beam and part of the ceiling. Co-owner Don Beggs and police say 78 year old Anna Puncsack of Du Quoin slipped from car to gas pedal and struck the store at 4 40 p m. Three lawn mowers were damaged with no injuries reported. A prior October incident caused less damage and was repaired. The building is owned by Beggs and Don Stevenson.
