ALBANY, GA -- Five cars were involved in an accident that also left a bus stop completely demolished.

Officers say 50-year-old Gloria Carter was driving a BMW and lost control of her vehicle on Slappey and 8th Avenue.

She hit one car and then crashed through the bus stop. But her car kept going, hitting another vehicle in the O'Reilly's Auto Parts parking lot; then passing back into traffic, hitting another car before finally jumping the curb and crashing into a truck and stopping in the parking lot.

Luckily no one was hurt in the accident, but the driver was given a ticket for failure to maintain lane.

The cause of the accident is under investigation.
