Three people were transported to the hospital with minor injuries this afternoon after a Cadillac CTS drove into Sunshine Foot Spa at the 16800 block of Redmond Way shortly after 1:30 p.m.
The driver, a 90 year old male from Redmond, hopped a curb and continued into the building, through the receptionist area, and came to a complete stop 55 feet into the business, inches away from another employee.
The driver, one employee, and one patron were all transported to the hospital with minor injuries. Major damage was done inside the business.The driver was arrested for reckless driving and suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription drugs.

Comment: Reading this makes me think twice about walking on a sidewalk. Would walking against the grain of traffic help? Should the city do a better job buffering our sidewalks from our busy roads, like 166th Ave? B.Y.

ReplyDeleteGiven the way drivers blow through red lights around here, pedestrians have already learned to be alert to oblivious drivers, including those that make right turns without looking for pedestrians.
ReplyDeleteBut in this case it wasn't just a sidewalk that was violated by a car but a building! Not much anyone can do to protect themselves from that.
