NEWSPOEM 9 DECEMBER 1995

PEORIA--68-year old Grace Cafaro's 1988 Mercedes drove through the fourth-floor wall of a parking garage at Southwest Jefferson and Fulton streets a little after 8 a.m. and fell about 30 feet and landed upside down crushing two airconditioning units on the roof of an enclosed loading dock at Peoria Savings Plaza. It took a dozen firefighters and rescue workers an hour to extricate her from her car.

Grace was uninjured, although she missed an entire day of her job as a court reporter. Rescuers report that she managed to get a lot of paperwork done while trapped upside down inside her flattened car awaiting rescue.
