Just a Little Excitement at the Dollar General

This is a shot of where a car drove into the wall, behind the grocery carts. Ouch! Nothing like being in line when you feel like you're in a soda can about to get squished! An elderly man backed up into a lady walking past, panicked, and then put his car in drive to get off of her, went over the yellow cement barrier in the bottom of the picture, and into the building. The shopping carts were not there at the time. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Has this kind of excitement happened to you when you were least expecting it?

I was waiting for a fine dining experience once on Rt. 9 in Shrewsbury. I looked up and saw a young man trying to jay walk across the busy State Road and BANG! I never knew people could fly, but he was airborne. I was telling the server at the fast food window to “Call 911 a boy just got hit".

He tried to get up and walk away, but the legs were badly hurt and he was going nowhere fast. By the time I got my healthy burger and fries I could hear the sirens coming.

ps, So glad your back on-line, now we can read the "Star" again.

Wow!. I can say that I never had that kind of experience at the Dollar Store. Every Schenewark journey is an adventure. My question is why the camera at the Doller Store? I gues you have to always be prepared for that special moment.

I haven't had that experience, but I've certainly read about these types of accidents with the elderly. Very scary!!
