A 20-year-old man was flown by Air Care to University Hospital in Cincinnati after smashing his Chevrolet Cavalier into a concrete block wall at a Fairfield Township Walmart store Monday night.

Police say the man apparently ran his vehicle into the store intentionally-while going 70 miles an hour.

The accident happened at the store on Princeton Road Walmart about 9:50 p.m. The car hit the brick exterior wall of the store's vehicle service area.

The man’s name and condition were not immediately released. No one else was hurt.

Come on. That car would have been demolished if it had hit that wall doing 70.

He just wanted the Walmart to be a drive thru is all.

[Fresh Wind]

It must have been a REALLY good sale that he was trying to get to.

Just “another isolated incident”..

I have a friend whose 20 yr old manic depressive son killed himself this way a few years ago, by running his car into a wall. He’d made several other suicide attempts over the years and had been hospitalized numerous times. It’s very possible that this is a similar sad case.

Anything to avoid the greeter I guess.

The first responder on the scene was 83 year old greeter Elwood Pinelander who quickly asked to see the man’s receipt.

What?

No one is picking up on the stuck accelerator pedal of the volkswagon of USA?

greeter: Good_______ *CRASH* ___ How are you this morning?

[knarf]

No, no, no ... it was Walter .... “Get yer shit and get out!”

[Grut]

Come on. That car would have been demolished if it had hit that wall doing 70.

Agreed.

Sale on beer and condoms, had to get a good parking spot.

An intentional accident?

A question for my Southern FReeper FRiends... When you choose a duct-tape that is a close color match to tape over a window on their car, do you figure that makes the half-assed repair look better?

[reagan_fanatic]

I wonder if those are Chinese-made blocks?

[Haiku Guy]

A member of my family was having similar problems a few years back. She couldn’t drive anymore because every time she got behind the wheel, she started thinking about driving into a wall.

She got help, and is doing fine these days. But that was pretty scary stuff.

Cavalier. Ah, that explains it. This is like one of those cases of “dogs that match the owners”, only different.

The two guys are standing in front of a sign. One wonders what it says.

Maybe it said "enter here" like Road runner put it there for Wiley Coyote.
