A San Antonio woman suffered non life-threatening injuries early Thursday when a man drove his pickup off a retaining wall and through the side of her home, pinning her against a wall in her kitchen.

KENS News is reporting that a man in his 40s was driving through a gas station parking lot when he accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake and crashed through the fencing on the retaining wall before going airborne and smashing into the home below.

San Antonio Fire Department crews responded and were able to quickly rescue the woman, who was taken to a hospital with only minor injuries.

The driver of the pickup was also taken to a hospital, and reports said authorities were looking into whether alcohol was a factor.
