Inside
Oh, boy…
Wow. They could have killed someone!! That is not braking whatsoever after hitting 2 cars outside.
Joey sweet pic, was this idiot trying to plug his phone in also?
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!
Damn. That Jetta has been parked for sale down the street from my house for last few days.
Hopefully they can order replacement parts right there.
Agreed, they’re gonna NEED some!!!
In time for Sunday, this building is holey.
Whip it’s?
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)?
Why yes Paul he’s brain dead…
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.
That’s my favorite store ,so glad bee was not hurt .Or anybody else for that matter.
Didn’t want to wait in line
Happy nobody got hurt!
Mc Kay collision repair (located about 3 blocks North) does very good work. They just repaired our vehicle.
They hooked up an oem side mirror for my charger. Got it installed and bought for half the price Lithia wanted for it just cost. McKay is bad ass 👍🏼
🖒Go to McKay!
Bee is the shit,knew her when she worked for McKinleyville. I’ve never had to return a part when I dealt with her. She is awesome.
You guys are hilarious.
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?
New idea for “Crash/fix” He/she didnt have to make such a mess
Looks like the vehicle of 007 Bob from the radio show on Saturdays
He probably had bought brakes at Napa.
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.
Drive thu auto parts
Typical HumCo driver. Missed a pedestrian, though. No points.
It’s Death Race 2017 out there.
