LAKEWOOD, Colorado – An unexpected event occurred at a driving school in Lakewood, Colorado. On Tuesday, a Community Driving School employee lost control of a Hyundai Tucson SUV and crashed it into the business building, causing significant damage to the storefront.
The Lakewood Police Department shared a shocking photo of the aftermath, revealing that the SUV was left almost completely inside the driving school. Despite the dramatic impact, only one minor injury was reported and luckily, “several people were able to move out of the way of danger,” police said.
The twist in this story lies in the fact that the driver responsible for the accident was neither more nor less than an instructor from the same driving school who would have confused the brake with the accelerator. The police report indicates that the driver was a newly hired employee who had not yet been certified as a driving instructor.
In response to the incident, the driver has been issued a citation for a traffic violation. Authorities are working to gather more details about the circumstances leading up to the crash.
The Lakewood Police Department and local authorities continue to investigate the incident. As the driving school assesses the extent of the damage and works to resume operations, this unusual incident serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and caution, even in unexpected situations.
