Driver Hits Fire Station and Truck

This from the Rapid City Journal:

About 9:20 p.m., Viereck, driving a 1988 Ford Bronco II, turned off First Street into the alley and was traveling east when he accelerated rapidly. His vehicle crashed through a fence, struck two parked vehicles and hit a trash container, according to the news release. The vehicle then crashed through a garage door leading to the truck bay at the fire station and hit a fire truck.

This guy must have really had the pedal down to hit all of that other stuff and still come through the garage door of the fire station and hit a truck!

By the way, if you read the rest of the article, it mentions Sgt. Brad Booth of the Rapid City Police Department. He was the state trooper based in Custer, SD, when I lived there. We served together on the Custer Fire Department. I haven't seen him for 12 years so it was cool to see his name in the article.
