Coral Gables, FL (October 10, 2018) - An SUV crashed into a Barnes & Noble in Coral Gables leaving one person injured. The crash occurred on Wednesday, October 10th.
According to Coral Gables police spokeswoman Kelly Dunham, the driver mistook the gas for the brake, striking a pillar before crashing into the store. The store is located at 152 Miracle Mile. One person inside the store was hurt in the crash and was transported to Kendall Regional Medical Center for treatment. The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The SUV driver was not hurt in the accident.
Each year, there are over 250,000 accidents reported across the state of Florida. While many of these accidents will occur on streets and highways, some of them will occur in parking lots and other less common areas.
In this crash, the driver who mistakenly pressed the gas rather than the brakes would likely be held responsible for their actions. When an innocent person is injured due to any type of negligence, that person is entitled to bring a personal injury claim against the responsible driver.
