He told officers he recalled hitting what he thought was the brakes while trying to park, but he was likely revving the gas pedal, according to deputies.
Day told deputies he was recently hospitalized for a neuropathy-related condition.
"The inside of this store looks like a war zone with all the extensive damage and huge hole created in the concrete wall,” an unidentified deputy said.
The cause of the crash was under investigation.
