Truck vs Auto Repair Shop Spanaway WA

March 20, 2010. Spanaway, WA. The Elite Auto Repair shop at 208th and the Mountain Hwy. Somehow, the driver left the Mountain Hwy and kept a nice straight line right into the bay door. It appears that a customers truck parked inside the building kept the at fault driver from going any further. Power was shut off to the heavily damaged building. The Washington State Patrol investigated the accident and Central Piece Fire and Rescue responded. Traffic in the area was not affected.

there is a ditch between the road and that door. i don't think that was a runaway maybe bad service practice at the shop or rogue employee

So was it put the truck through the drop box? Or the keys?

Wow that would suck. You take your car to the auto repair and then it gets smashed into by a runaway pickup truck lol. At least nobody was injured, there could have been somebody standing between the door and the pickup that was parked inside, that would not have been good.
