A driver was drunk when she crashed into a vehicle parked at a Medford 7-Eleven, then the store Thursday night, Suffolk police said.
The woman, whose name was not immediately released, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated shortly after the 9:20 p.m. crash on Horseblock Road, police said.
No one was injured, authorities said.
Police said she had hit the store's facade. A store cashier Thursday night said there was minimal damage.
Photos from the scene showed what appeared to be a pickup truck with front-end damage and a white van, which was parked in front of the store, with side and rear damage.
Suffolk officers and Suffolk sheriff's deputies responded to the crash, and a woman could be seen being led away in handcuffs.
