Connecticut dealer Ed Zehall had a close call recently when a van came crashing through the front door of his shop.
It wasn’t a smash-and-grab theft attempt, but a medical problem that affected the 77-year-old woman who was driving.
Zehall and an employee could have been in the doorway, except they had returned to the back office to help out with a printer problem.
“If I had not gone back to check the problem with the printer, the sales rep and I would have been in the doorway when the minivan came crashing through,” he said.
The van driver also escaped with nothing but a slight bloody nose from the airbag deployment, Zehall said.
After closing for repairs, the Valley Coins of Seymour, Conn., was again welcoming customers on Nov. 1.
