Car crashes into Ballard bike shop

Updated: A Ford Bronco smashed into the front door of the bike shop on 56th St. and 24th Ave. just before 5:30 p.m. today.

Four other vehicles were involved in the accident, and amazingly only the driver of the Bronco was sent to the hospital with minor injuries. No one on the sidewalk or inside BikeSport was injured. “I was across the street and just south when this happened,” writes Dusty in comments. “Had I not waited at the intersection to cross, it would have timed up to where I was dodging the truck on the sidewalk. Gives ya the goosebumps!”

Another witness tells My Ballard on scene that she spoke with the driver immediately after the accident, and he told her that he had just lost control. (Thanks Rob and Silver for your help on the story!)
