Car crashes into medical building
A woman was shaken up Thursday morning after her car ran into a medical building near Valencia High School.
Shortly after 9:50 a.m., the car crashed into a building on Smyth Drive, opposite the high school.
Paramedics with the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the incident and arrived there at 10 a.m.
No one was trapped inside the vehicle, Fire Department Inspector Joey Marron said.
Paramedics treated the driver, but took no one to the hospital.
The incident marks the second time in two days — and the third time in less than a week — that a vehicle has crashed into a building in the SCV.
On Wednesday, the driver of a charcoal-colored Tesla drove into the front of the McDonald’s restaurant on Sierra Highway at Via Princessa.
Fortunately, the car did not enter very far into the interior of the restaurant and no one was hurt.
“I would say it entered about a foot,” restaurant staffer Sergio Rizo said. “It bent the (building’s) frame, but no one was hurt.”
A third incident involving a vehicle versus building happened during Labor Day weekend.
A recreational vehicle attempted to go through the opposite end of Boston Market’s drive-through after closing hours Friday evening, according to Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station officials.
Law enforcement officials were initially called at 10:37 p.m. and arrived 15 minutes later, said Lt. Leo Bauer. The 25-year-old driver was arrested for an unrelated vehicle code violation, Bauer said.
Jerry Thorpe, general manager of the location, said he received a call between 10:30 and 11 p.m. about someone pulling their RV through the drive-through.
The driver appeared to be looking for the exit out onto Newhall Ranch Road, Thorpe said.
The vehicle became stuck and caused damage to the roofing around Boston Market’s drive-through exit. Tire marks and debris were still visible Saturday afternoon.
While stuck, the driver asked the manager to use the phone, Thorpe said.
