RUNAWAY CLASSIC CAR CRASHES ON SAUSALITO HILL

A Tiburon woman was hurt after smashing her classic Austin Healey sports 
car into a Sausalito carport, firefighters said.

The crash occurred at 2:23 p.m., when the woman lost control of the car 
while driving down Sausalito Boulevard.  Sausalito fire Capt. Jerry Recor 
said the woman's brakes apparently failed and she was going too fast to 
make the turn at Spencer Avenue.

The car smashed into the carport at 694 Sausalito Blvd., taking out its 
supports and causing the roof to "pancake" on top of two other cars, Recor 
said.

Paramedics took the 42-year-old woman to Marin General Hospital for minor 
facial injuries.  Her Austin Healey, a British car produced only from 
1954-1967, was destroyed.
