Storybook Accident

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

An SUV ran into Porter Square Books this morning, a little before noon. I did not see the collision, but I was there shortly after. Nobody I spoke to saw it happen, including a couple who were in the store -- they just heard the noise. The vehicle went through the window into the cafe area and at least one person from inside was taken away in an ambulance, in addition to the driver, who did not appear to be hurt. (Amazingly, the car did not appear to have sustained any damage, despite breaking through the metal & glass windows as well as the cement block wall beneath.)

There were four ambulances, three fire engines, and many police officers.

If I understand how it works right, the driver's insurance will pay up to however much property damage liability she's carrying. The store can go after her in court for any damages in excess of her PDL coverage, however. (My husband works for a car insurance company and talks about this stuff waaaaay too much. Some of it apparently rubs off.)
