A 77-year old man backed his small Kia sedan into two vehicles, hit a pedestrian standing on a Main Street sidewalk and crashed through the wall of a Burlington bar Tuesday afternoon, police said. The pedestrian, Kevin Neary, 42, of South Burlington, was taken to Fletcher Allen Health Care for "serious but apparently non life threatening injuries" after being hit by vehicle, police said. The 4:02 p.m. collision damaged the front wall of Esox bar on Main Street and left the back window of the Kia smashed. The car was driven by Donald Wilder of Zellwood, Fla. People passing by the accident scene were puzzled about how the accident occurred. "How did this happen?" and "How did he do that?" were some of the comments from people who watched police clear the scene. Police said the driver "had trouble with the vehicle controls and held down the accelerator."
