TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a woman died from injuries she suffered when a vehicle crashed into a Topeka cafe last week.

Eighty-year-old Joyce Kasson died Saturday. She was injured Thursday when a sport utility vehicle hit a window and went into Banjo’s Cafe.

The Shawnee County Sheriff’s office said Monday that a preliminary investigation indicated Kasson’s injuries were non-life threatening but her condition deteriorated because of complications.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports 82-year-old Peggy Turner, of Topeka, was trying to park at the cafe when she accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brakes.
