This series shows Wiley Hall as it looked earlier this morning (November 24th, 2009), when a driver allegedly hit the gas instead of the break in one of the parking spots next to the historic building.
I was tipped off by Jill Morgenthaler, age 24, who saw the crash as she and her friend, 20-year-old Leiagh Bonfiglio, were getting out of their car at Wiley Hall opposite of where the crash occured. Jill said:
"My friend and I were parking at Wiley. Right as I turned off the car, either
the girl was trying to reverse [in drive] or lost control getting into the
parking spot, but she rammed her RAV 4 into the column of Wiley Hall. We thought
were were gonna die!"
As of this writing no one has been reported as injured in the crash and the driver was examined by Flagler nursing staff. A temporary support beam has been set up until a new columns can be made to replace the damage.
wow, the driver really wiped out that column...
ReplyDeleteyeah, it's a good thing it wasn't solid or she'd be in trouble. Well, more trouble than she's already in after causing major property damage to a registered historic building.
ReplyDeletewow, that is a major screw up. Wish I could have been in the car when it happened. Not really there but like invisible or something, so I could avoid the awkward part after.
