Pharmacy Damaged After Automobile Accident
A Rite Aid pharmacy was heavily damaged after an elderly woman crashed her vehicle through one of the walls of the store. On December 9th, 91-year-old Leona Ricker was driving her Chrysler Sebring when she veered into the Rite Aid store, destroying a wall and several windows. Nobody was injured in the accident including the driver and the passenger in the Sebring. When police questioned Ricker as to what caused her to crash into the store wall, she stated that she was unsure what happened. The pharmacy remained operational while firefighters and police officers cleared the area of debris and removed the vehicle.
This incident demonstrates that an automobile accident can occur at a moment’s notice and the driver may be completely unable to avoid any obstacles in front of them. The fact that Ricker could not explain what happened in the accident proves that there are always instances when something unexpected with the vehicle or others on the road can occur and cause a serious accident. It is very fortunate that nobody was hurt in this incident, including Ricker and her passenger. In many instances, people suffer serious injuries as a result of automobile accidents. Though this type of accident is not very common, the results could have been far worse, especially for customers inside the store, as they could have been harmed by the vehicle or surrounding debris from the accident.
