A man loses control of his car on Tuesday, hitting five parked cars in the Northport Library parking lot.

An 80 year old man was unharmed on Tuesday after losing control of his car in the parking lot on Laurel Avenue.

The man was waiting for a parking spot around 10 a.m., said , when he put his gold SUV into reverse and backed up into a parked red car at high speed, pushing it over a divider and onto Scudder Avenue. Once on Scudder Avenue, the man then shifted into forward and reentered the parking lot, crashing into four other parked cars.

Police said the man was coherent when they arrived and maintained that the accelerator pedal was stuck. No one was hurt in the accident as the cars were unoccupied. Damage to the cars, however, was substantial.
