WALLA WALLA, WA - A hotel pool in Walla Walla will be closed for a while after a FedEx truck crash Friday afternoon.

Police say the employee was on her last delivery for the day when she crashed through the windows of the building at the Holiday Inn Express on West Pine Street.

The truck stopped just before taking a nose dive into the pool.

The driver wasn't seriously injured.

The Holiday Inn Express is now waiting for a structural engineer to come out and assess the damage.

No word when the pool will reopen.

You'd think that with all of the people who stayed at the Holiday Inn Express last night, they wouldn't have to look far for someone who could pretend to be a structural engineer...

EXPRESS is just what it is...EXPRESS, and EXPRESS SHE DID =). Looks like the hotel has a new opening to deliver packages.

..GORGEOUS!!!! UNBELIEVABLY GORGEOUS!!

I don't mean to demean Walla Walla but I grew up and live 60 miles away. Never thought of it as that special and definitely not gorgeous. Do like the Blue Mountain backdrop, however. And very nice trails to explore up there.

I used to visit the french fry plant quite frequently. Also like nearby Athena, OR, historical home of Hodaka motorcycles.

[steve86]

Yeah, all the time. But I prefer the mountains - see just above.

Pretty sure that is an amalgam of two gorgeous aspects of Washington State!!!
