Fight for Parking, Car Drives into Building

On September 28, 2007 at around 5:00 PM in Bellevue (WA) at the Factoria Square Mall, a woman drove her car through TJ Maxx store entrance injuring a teenage girl. Apparently, this occurred when the driver (who had a passenger in the car with her) wanted to get the best parking place before another driver, and gunned it. Except the car didn't stop (she possibly mistook the accelerator for the brake). The car traveled over 30 ft from the parking place before it came to a stop inside the store. The girl had minor injuries. Police say that the driver may have been under the influence of something. The 37 year old Bellevue women was arrested for DUI.

Personal Note: I made $250 that Friday night. I got interviewed for KIRO TV. And I got the exclusive up close shots. I was sitting on the east side of Factoria when this happened listening to my police scanner (the accident happened on the west side), so I was able to get there really fast, before they were able to tape everything off. I sold this footage to KOMO 4 and KIRO TV. At one point, I had all the stations lined up to buy, but Q 13 and King 5 went back on their word when I got to Seattle. Oh well, that's business. At least I got to film inside the King 5 van. Glad no one died; this could have been a lot worse.
