Senior Driver Crashes into Apple Store Leaving One Person Injured

 Posted on February 21, 2013 in Personal Injury

An elderly man lost control of a vehicle and crashed into the Lincoln Park Apple store on January 13 in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, according to the Chicago Tribune. One person was injured in the unlikely accident and was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital to be treated. The driver was not hurt in the crash.

Witnesses to the driving accident described a surreal scene: a Lincoln Town Car drove through the store’s front doors and stopped about four or five feet inside the store, near display cases holding Apple accessories. Shards of broken glass covered the ground near the crash. Shirley Susman was across the street at the time of the accident.

“I heard the screech of brakes, and I turned around and looked across the street and I saw the car — it was heading directly to the Apple Store,” she said. Several people were inside the store. When they saw the car coming, they ran and managed to get out of the car’s way, and fortunately only one person was hurt in the crash.
