Nevada Supreme Court Justice Kris Pickering apparently has a grudge against United Parcel Service. She was in a parking lot this morning and saw a UPS store lurking, so she bravely stepped on the gas and rammed the front of the store. The RJ reports: Supreme Court Justice Kris Pickering drove her Mercedes sedan into the front of a UPS store near Rancho Drive and Charleston Boulevard around 9 a.m.
today, the store's owner said. . .
"The whole front just exploded inward," Halovich said. "All the wood and glass flew in like shrapnel and everything shot right by me. Miraculously, it just missed me."
Ok, Justice Pickeirng doesn't have a UPS store vendetta. According to the article, her accelerator got stuck while she was parking, forcing the car into the store's windowfront.
Anyone know a good product liability defense attorney in town? Mercedes is going to need one.
Update: Las Vegas Now has posted closed circuit video of the accident:

Too bad it wasn't a Post Office. I absolutely hate the USPS. Who wants to stand in line with forty other people waiting for the two clerks (although there are 99 "windows") to help you? I guess now I'll have to worry about getting hit by a car while standing in line at the UPS store. Dang it! Now I'll have to use Fed Ex.

That UPS clerk has great reflexes.
ReplyDeleteHey, sh** happens.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad the dogs are ok. Also, gotta love the cool under pressure clerk, who hops out of the way and then calmly dials 911. The high court could probably use a guy like that.
"accelerator got stuck" is widely understood to be code for "forgot which pedal was which." It happens; just hope she's telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteStuck accelerator? Really? Not even a citation for leaving the dogs in the car in 100 plus weather.
