Talking on your cellphone while blowing stoplights and stop signs at 80 MPH in a stolen SUV: what could possibly go wrong?
According to the Kansas City Star, a woman somehow managed to sustain only non-life-threatening injuries last week after she crashed a stolen SUV into an unoccupied building in Kansas City, Mo.
Kansas City Police Capt. Chris Sicoli said his officers didn’t pursue the stolen vehicle until it ran a stop sign just after 10 a.m. Thursday morning. A high-speed chase ensued, and according to one witness, the woman behind the wheel was talking on her cellphone when she ran over a fire hydrant and then came to a complete stop inside the vacant building.
“It sounded like a bomb,” Cynthia Bell said. “I said, ‘Something is going to end up happening,’ and lo and behold, something ended up happening.”
The crash was responsible for a partial implosion of the building that used to be a Ford dealership. The building’s owner was using it as storage for unrestored antique cars, some of which crashed to the ground floor from the second floor after the impact.
