That was an accident. There would be no reason to think it was on purpose. The only unusual thing was he was at least 20 years younger than others who have had similar accidents.
An elderly woman once slammed through the brick wall of a restaurant. I had walked by about 30 minutes before it happened.

I was going to ask if it was accidental or on purpose. Because accidents like that happen all the time. Yes, more often by elderly but can happen to younger people too. Either they hit the gas instead of the brake or they think it's in reverse when really it's in drive. The building where I work, the parking spots put the vehicles facing the front of the building with only a standard width walkway between the two. It wouldn't take much for someone to accidentally ram into the front of our office, and I sit about 10 - 12 feet from that front wall.Lemons wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 3:59 pmThat was an accident.

It looks like it was an accident: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/11/22/us/m ... index.html
The driver has a previous DUI but his BAC was 0 when they tested him yesterday. He consented to a blood draw, so that should answer whether he was on any drugs.
He claims his foot was stuck on the accelerator, which sounded insane to me, but is apparently something that has happened at least once before: https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/ ... -accident/

I thought this was going to be about AAVs or modified cars….
I looked up the story, only read 1 article but the gentleman’s wording is a little weird. I’d like to know what kind of footwear he was wearing. When my ex got into a bad accident the laces from his docs got stuck on the accelerator pedal. Idk if something similar occurred in this case. But that doesn’t account for steering. When ex had his accident they drove into a tree in the median as it was the only place he could go without hitting other occupied vehicles or pedestrians. Dd ended up with a fractured eye socket, as well as both cheekbones, and fractures in her hips and pelvis. Was there no options to avoid hitting people I wonder?
Anything can be an assault xyz depending on how it’s used, even a plush teddy bear.
