Accident:
Vehicle Into
Building
520 Chestnut
Street, West Reading
Accidents are called "accidents" simply
because we don't intend for them to happen. But when we're
behind the wheel, if we're not careful, accidents will happen.
In this case, the driver simply stepped on the gas when he intended
to step on the brake. The end result was that this minivan crashed
into the side of Reading Hospital's Day Care Center. Fortunately, it
crashed into an unoccupied office area and no one was hurt, including
the driver.

This is a sight you don't see every day...fortunately! This situation could have ended up much worse, but luck was on the side of this driver. |
