At approximately 2:50 p.m., a vehicle hit O’Reilly Auto Parts, a building on South Fortuna Boulevard. The outside lane is blocked.

No one was injured.

UPDATE 3:01 p.m.: According to a reader the vehicle hit at least two other vehicles before striking the building.

UPDATE: 3:08 p.m.: From photos it appears as if the pickup truck struck a silver vehicle and a red vehicle before hitting the building. The red vehicle struck the maroon pickup in front of it we believe.

three vehicles damage by another

Hope he has very good insurance…or none and he’s in debt for a little while.

I have noticed a particular negligence in some Fortunie’s driving! They seem to speed and race each other a lot… Some are beyond the pale of normative behavior.

I hope everyone who was inside was uninjured!

Lots of vehicle vs building this year! Be careful, slow down, be responsible, stay safe!

Many questions. Anyone injured? Was the driver impaired by drugs or alcohol? Did the driver have a medical condition that caused loss of conscienceness (which seems likely here)?

Ya never know, but at first blush it looks like a health issue according to the scuttlebutt at the scene. Nice old guy, and the cops weren’t treating him like a criminal. Didn’t even remotely look like he was intoxicated. There’s a bug going around that will make you get some horrendous dizzy spells too. I almost bit out in the middle of Safeway when I had it.

Mc Kay collision repair (located about 3 blocks North) does very good work. They just repaired our vehicle.

The building wouldn’t have been hit if the creeps with the big pickups left for 3 weeks selling them hadn’t taken them. The little weiner cars don’t stand a chance against a ford pickup going 25mph with the driver in distress (seizure/spasm/?). That wall inside was where the oil filters/air filters were located.
Will the City required K-rail barriers now at that store location?

It’s the direction it hit the building ~ dead on ~ when the street is parallel with the building that I find interesting. Grateful no one was hurt.

Typical HumCo driver. Missed a pedestrian, though. No points.

It’s Death Race 2017 out there.
