I'm glad no-one was hurt. That SUV was going pretty fast.

The husband of one my coworkers drove a truck, even though he suffered from some kind of occasional seizures. A couple years ago, the guy eventually had one of his seizures while driving and rolled his truck. No-one else was injured. He temporarily lost his driver's license after that.

The last I heard of this situation, somehow the guy got his driver's license back. I pray he took some steps to get his condition taken care of, but his wife didn't share any information about that.

Yeah, my wife was standing in the post office one day and a car drove through the front of it. She was missed by about 3 feet but did get hit by a table, in the thigh.

She walked away fine though.

Maybe the driver thought he was going to DriveThruComics:

Wow! And the guy at the cash register acted like it was an everyday thing.

Lord Vader is a bad dude.

Hopefully, the driver was also unhurt.

Great find, Xintao!

Scratch and dent sale at the Deep!

Perhaps the driver had enough of bad dice rolling and decided to take matters into his own hands….

or…

the last Games Workshop price increase sent him over the edge…

or…

Cosplay had finally taken over his life completely…

or…

the Darth Vader cutout used the Force on him…

@Glen Goffin

Be honest, you have been waiting years to use that line haven't you :)

Driver had a seizure and careened off the interstate highway, thru a chain link fence into parking lot, up over a curb that stood about a foot high and into the store.

Rolled a "1", no doubt…

Hurts my heart to see all that great product getting smashed up (only after reading that nobody was hurt, of course).

I only hope the front counter was were they kept the stuff that would never sell.

Wow! And the guy at the cash register acted like it was an everyday thing.

Is the guy (at 16 seconds in) holding a box a customer or another employee? If the former, I'm wondering if he made the buy? If the latter, I guess he's lucky he wasn't quicker at restocking a shelf…

@ Brian Smaller:

So admitted.

JMcCarroll09 Jan 2017 6:32 p.m. PST

Is there a smash and dent sale?
