    Everyone needs to be considerate and not make jokes about accidents the driver was so tore up about this, bless her heart she just physically sick at the thought of hurting someone!! Thank God no one was hurt bc I know this woman and she’s one of the best women I’ve ever met!! I believe they should have something bigger than those curbs that’s obviously won’t stop a car from going through the very front of the bank.. all I know is anyone’s who’s been driving any length of time gas had some sort of similar experience were they hit the gas instead of the brake. Again this wonderful god fearing lady was beyond devastated among other feeling of embarrassment which she shouldn’t have been bc it was an accident that could have happened to anyone…

    I never use those parking spaces in front of the stores or ATM. Too difficult to back out & people go too fast. Agree shouldn’t be parking spaces in front of NFCU. There is always an employee/greeter standing right in front of those doors.

    Bollards should have been added to prevent accidents like this.

    On the serious side-WHY they ever put parking in front of those stores where the driver cannot see a car coming thru the parking lot on the MAIN exit and entrance is beyond me!! Plus people walking across and maneuvering their way across the main exit area and in between cars !!! It is ludicrous – I am stunned this or many kinds of accidents – Had the credit union been opened – the car would have hit people standing to give their code – ask a question-or get an appointment – that is my branch and every time I go I am cognoscente of that crazy parking —

    That’s only one (1) of the reasons I don’t use ATM’s

    Couldn’t possibly be something else, other than a lead foot driver (sarcasm). Anyone who has been driving for any length of time has had some sort of an incident with the accelerator and/or break pedal at some point. Older drivers are more likely to have these types of incidents and they rarely have anything to do with speeding. Glad no one was hurt, because that’s what really matters!!!

    This does not surprise me. Everyone speeds through this parking lot. Driver must have a heavy foot
    I’ll say it again… “Slow Down PENSACOLA.” Everyone is always in such a hurry.

    Wanted to get closer to the ATM.

    “Wasn’t Me”

    Seriously I pray all is well with the driver.

    Considering the way people drive on the highway in that area, it stands to reason it would only be a matter of time before they took on the parking lot. Glad no one was hit on the sidewalk.
