Here we go again, Sacramento. We’ve been up to our old tricks:
Several people were injured when a car smashed into a credit union office in Sacramento this afternoon.
The incident happened at the Golden 1 Credit Union on College Town Drive near US-50 and Howe Avenue. According to the Sacramento Police Officer Tod Barnes, the driver of the car, an 85-year-old man mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal when backing out of a parking spot and his Volvo lurched forward into the outside ATM vestibule. The car struck a woman waiting to use the ATM.
That’s right Sacto. We just crashed another building! But wait a minute…
…doesn’t this story sound a lot like this one from back in September?
The only withdrawal a Sacramento driver made from an area bank Tuesday was the withdrawal of his car from the bank’s building.
The 95-year-old driver was in the parking lot of the U.S. Bank near Florin and Greenhaven roads when he accidentally put the car in reverse and stepped on the gas, punching a hole in the bank’s wall, according to authorities.
I’m beginning to think that not only are cars too complicated to operate for Sacramentans, but so are ATM cards for Sacramento’s seniors.
