May 9, 2023
A 60-year old woman from Jay drove her Mini Cooper through the front of the UPS Store in Pace, injuring a woman inside, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
FHP said a 35-year old Pace woman inside the store suffered minor injuries from glass and debris.
Prior to this crash, FHP said the Mini Cooper driver and a 37-year-old woman driving a van backed into each other in the parking lot. The driver of the Mini Cooper put her vehicle in gear and pressed on the accelerator causing it to travel over the parking curb into the front of the UPS Store.

All the precautions in the world cannot prevent accidents. Humans are more and more distracted by the ever advancing technology and sometimes equipment malfunctions. Bollards are a good idea in certain places- but to mandate that they have to shield all businesses and public buildings?
Those pipe and concrete “things” are called bollards. They are intended to be a barrier to prevent vehicle entry. When installed correctly, they work extremely well. They also do not inhibit pedestrian traffic flow. Why they are not mandated by the state is beyond me.
Guess that lady really wants them to answer that age old UPS question:
“What can brown do for you?”
Probably for the same reason we don’t have them down the middle of the highway.
Not sure why barrracades arent required in front of all buildings entrance
