It seems rare that automobiles crash into buildings, but it happens with more frequency than most would think. When it does occur, it can lead to serious injuries both for the occupants of the vehicle and anyone who happens to be inside the building in question. Such appears to be the case with a situation that occurred yesterday when a vehicle crashed into a Hollywood grocery store. Two people were seriously injured.
According to the Sun-Sentinel:
“Two people were sent to the hospital with serious injuries Friday morning after a car smashed into a grocery store, authorities said.
Firefighters pulled the pair from the car, which caught fire after slamming into the Community Food Store at 2910 N. 22nd Ave., according to Hollywood Beach Fire Rescue.”
While no details have yet been provided regarding a potential cause for the crash, the law states that drivers are responsible for the safety of anyone they could possibly harm behind the wheel, especially their passengers. If it turns out that the driver made a mistake that led to this result, he or she could be facing civil liability not only for the injuries caused but also for the property damage that was caused by the collision.
