Two women were killed in a Miami car accident on August 2, 2011, when an elderly man lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a Miami boutique. A 33-year-old pregnant woman, who was the boutique owner, and her friend, were killed. According to the Sun Sentinel report, the driver hit the gas pedal by accident as he was trying to park his SUV. Police are investigating the accident.
As Coral Springs personal injury lawyers, we are aware of a similar Palm Beach car accident which took place on July 29, 2011, when a 24-year-old man lost control of his car and struck a shoe store. Thankfully, the accident did not injure any pedestrians or bystanders. The driver of the car, however, was hospitalized.
In reading about other accidents nationwide involving drivers who crashed into businesses or public places, we found that some of those accidents were caused by distracted drivers. In late July, for example, a woman was struck by a distracted driver at a gas station in Washington state and almost lost her right foot. The driver was reportedly having a cell phone conversation before the accident.
