An SUV just came within inches of crashing into my office window

Scared the living bejeezus out of me.
Not her fault. Teenager in big Mercedes SUV caused 5 car accident. One ended up on a snow drift.
Two people were taken away in ambulances.
My heart is racing

I knew a guy from work that was at a barbecue joint when an out of control pickup crashed through the front windows.
Bunch of people hurt, gladly non life threatening.
He got hit by some flying glass and needed a couple stitches on his cheek.
Could have been much worse.
Glad the vehicle stopped in time for your incident.

Just freaked out a bit. I work for an elected official and the way our office is situated, we're kind of sitting ducks.
I always worried more about potential political violence.
We have a buzzer system and i have a panic button/silent alarm mounted under my desk.
