BAR HARBOR—Shortly after 5 p.m., a vehicle crashed into Paradis Ace Hardware Store at 31 Holland Ave. The police quickly closed Holland Avenue from Cottage Street to Mount Desert Street to traffic. The car was completely inside the building and had gone through the right of the doorway, pushing out the frame and damaging the side of the building. The owner on record is 108 Cottage Streets LLC.
The driver walked out of the vehicle under her own power and was checked out by emergency personnel. It is currently believed that there were no major injuries inside the store.

My favorite store in Bar Harbor. This could have been so much worse. They have good Karma. Love those guys.
I hope everyone is ok and the damage isn’t too bad. Great people at Paradise!
