Why Vehicles Strike Buildings
As devastating and scary as they can be, car accidents like this can happen for many reasons and more frequently than many expect. In some situations, drivers lose control because they were speeding or took the turn too quickly. Other times, a poorly constructed street with limited visibility could have caused the incident. A medical emergency, fatigue, or an intoxicated driver could have played a role in the incident.
