How Does this Even Happen in a Parking Lot?

By Prince Of Petworth

A reader reports yesterday:

“I went to Giant Foods in Columbia heights to buy some groceries and I saw this mess in its parking garage. I was told it was a fourth car involved which was all destroyed, besides the truck that caused the accident. That happened on Saturday but I went on Sunday afternoon and the cars were still there.”

“The trapped individual was a person inside the store, not the driver.”
