Picture this: a normal Tuesday afternoon, people are out walking, maybe grabbing coffee, minding their own business. Boom. Out of nowhere, a car jumps the curb and turns three innocent people into human bowling pins.
One witness said it was like “a video game glitch in real life.” And honestly? That’s the perfect description—because who expects a sedan to go off-road through a sidewalk crowd?
Thankfully, none of the pedestrians had serious injuries, which is miraculous given the circumstances. I’m picturing them all getting up, brushing off their pants, and going, “Well, that was unexpected.”
The Driver: A Very Bad Day (And a Very Bad Decision)
Now, let’s talk about the woman behind the wheel. Police say she was arrested on the spot—no polite warnings, no “please step out of the vehicle.” We’re talking handcuffs, the whole nine yards.
Why? Because she allegedly made a series of questionable choices. First, she hit the pedestrians. Second, she tried to drive away. And third—wait for it—she was apparently under the influence of something.
I’m no lawyer, but “I was just trying to parallel park” probably wasn’t her defense. Police are still investigating, but let’s just say her driving test score is now sealed for life.
