Quincy Point’s best liquor store was whacked by a careless driver yesterday evening.
This latest building whacking in Quincy was a weird one in ways well outside of the ordinary.
For starters, the whacker was not drinking to the best of Quincy Quarry News’ understanding as well as was apparently not even making a liquor run..
And for even weirder, the driver apparently locked down hard on the gas pedal in the CVS parking lot on the other side of Southern Artery and so crossed four lanes of traffic and popped over a concrete traffic island in the middle of the street.before coming to a stop inside of the liquor store on the other side of the street.
Further strange is that there were no obvious skid marks along way before the SUV come to a stop in basically the liquor store’s office and at least part of its extensive hard liquor section.
Fortunately, there was no one in the office at the time of the whacking and only those in the SUV suffered minor injuries.
Unfortunately, this package store is currently expected to be closed for two weeks or thereabouts to effect repairs.
In any event, Quincy Quarry News’ media brethren at Boston 25 were first on the scene last night.
Quincy Quarry then followed this morning with Channel 7 News arriving on the scene as the Quarry was wrapping up its interview with a store employee.
No idea, however, if 7 and 25 rolled to Quincy to the scene given the unusual angle the SUV traveled to effect this whacking on top of the rest of the weird of this incident or not.
Then again, local broadcast television news outlets are always looking for a unique vehicular crash for their crash of the day feature.
Well, if there’s ever been a case for “drive-thru liquor,” I guess Quincy Point just made history. I mean, who needs convenience when you can just park your SUV inside the store, right? Maybe the driver was so eager for their booze that they decided to take the express route—straight through the wall. On the bright side, this gives new meaning to “crashing a party.” At least no one was hurt, but something tells me the liquor aisle has seen better days.
And it appears they did it all in reverse!
Louie,
You are correct. Damnedest thing I have ever seen in all my years of working the streets of Quincy.
