Car Crashes into San Diego Area Dental Office
Some of us may suffer a few nerves while driving late at night or being on the road during rush-hour traffic, but apparently there's a new situation to apprehend: the dentist's office.
Wednesday morning around 10 a.m. at Tierrasanta Boulevard near the intersection with La Cuenta Drive, an 86 year-old woman drove into the lobby of San Diego dental office. A San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Lee Swanson reported that the driver was pulling into a disabled parking spot and could not put her foot on the brake in time. The result was that her Toyota Camry ran over a pole before driving through front glass windows and pushing a 59-year-old waiting patient 20 feet and pinning him against the wall near the reception's desk. Firefighters who arrived on the scene were able to quickly free him and took him to the hospital for further treatment. The man was reportedly at the dentist to be treated for a broken tooth, and instead left with a broken pelvis as well, while the driver did not suffer any injuries. The San Diego area building did not suffer structural damage, but will be closed for two days to repair the results of the car wreck.

Though an unlikely story, it is not impossible. As the strong, durable and powerful masses that vehicles are, they are potential threats to us all over in the community, and you have a right to be protected from auto accidents, especially with someone else behind the wheel coupled with poor judgment that tends to cause fatalities.
