An SUV driver accidentally plowed into a Cumming Starbucks Tuesday morning, injuring two women, the Forsyth News reports.

A Forsyth County Sheriff's Office spokesman said the women's injuries were not life-threatening. The two women, transported across the street to Northside Hospital-Forsyth, were sitting inside the coffee shop at Market Place Boulevard and Ga. 20 when the SUV crashed through the front window and into their table.

The 66-year-old driver, who was not injured, accidentally hit the vehicle's accelerator instead of the brakes, the paper reports. No charges are expected, the sheriff's spokesman said.
