Car Slams Into Local Business Overnight, Driver Arrested

Posted on 12 January 2011 by johnd

A driver plowed into the side of a local business last night, causing thousands of dollars in damage.

Mobility Medical on South Gloster Street now has a gaping hole where the door once was, much like the gaping hole in the head of the driver, who fled the scene, leaving the car there along with his keys. Police would catch up with him later and book him at the Lee County Sheriff’s Department. He told police he lost control of the car, but the damage to the store is consistent with a speeding car.

The manager of the store says it is still open for business, but repairs to the wounded building will amount to roughly $20,000. He will also have security personnel on hand while repairs are made to ensure people won’t use his store as a driveway again. Repairs should be done in about a month.
