Big Problem

Storefront crashes have been an unheralded, below-the-radar problem for far too long. Typically, these accidents happen as drivers are pulling into or out of ‘nose-in’ parking spaces that face pedestrian areas and storefront businesses (convenience stores, salons, daycare centers, etc.). Sometimes, the vehicle comes into the building from an adjacent street — due to a variety of causes (i.e., driver error, medical issues, police pursuits, DUI).*

On average, 50-60 car crashes per day occur through the doors, windows, and walls of a businesses in America resulting in injuries and possible fatalities. For 2013, it is estimated that 500 Americans died as a result of a vehicle crash through a storefront – that’s more fatalities than all of these potential risks combined: tornadoes, lightning strikes, earthquakes, and skydiving. As many as 3,600 people were injured last year due to storefront crashes – and the toll keeps rising.*
