Two hurt after car crashes through wall in Scott
Cleanup continued nearly four hours after an elderly driver crashed through the rear entrance door of the All State Insurance branch in Scott Towne Center.
The nearly 50-foot hill where the car two men were riding in careened over and into a wall.
A curb, a fence, brush and brake pads – not enough to stop the car that ultimately crashed into a door and concrete wall.
Two people were hurt after the sedan they were riding in crashed through a wall after going over a hill.
The 87 year-old driver and a 45 year-old passenger, both male, crashed through the wall of an All State Insurance branch in the Scott Towne Center around 9 a.m. Aug. 1 after the vehicle went over a nearly 50-foot hill. “The driver was going about 10 miles per hour in a parking lot above the business, when, due to a medical event or him just losing control, he accelerated, drove up and over a curb, through a fence, and then down over the hill,” Scott Township police officer Shawn Kosanovich said. Both men sustained injuries at the scene and were transported to a nearby hospital.
Kosanovich said the driver was banged up but had no discernable injuries at the scene, while the passenger had a contusion, as well as cuts to his face and was bleeding.
The rear entrance door to the business was destroyed as well as the surrounding concrete. No other injuries were reported.
