An elderly man drove a blue Honda Civic down the stairs on the HPER walkway between LNCO and Milton Bennion Hall at about 1:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
Officer Akop Fermanian, the responding officer, said the man was trying to drive home from a doctor’s appointment on Central Campus Drive when he got lost and ended up on the sidewalk while looking for a way out.
“The road just kept getting narrower and narrower and he ended up here,” Fermanian said.
A tow truck pulled the Civic off the stairs at 2:20 p.m. Visible harm to the car included damage to the bumper, and the impact of the vehicle removed two small chunks of concrete from the top stair.
The man walked away from the accident without injury.
