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.

I used to live at a crappy intersection (in Fitchburg), and the storefront across the street from me was run into three times. The store's insurance covered what was above the driver's insurance (minus a premium, of course), but they do have limits -- after the third time, they said they'd be cancelling the insurance if it happened again.
