What happened here? A Rivian SUV collided with the King Soopers grocery store on Uintah on Tuesday, and King Soopers won -- kind of. There's a giant, SUV-sized hole in the building now, after all. The driver of the vehicle said that it suddenly sped up and he couldn't stop it. Electric vehicles are very heavy, so it did a lot of damage. Luckily he missed any pedestrians, although including the driver, six people were injured, none of them seriously. This is one of the grocery stores that Pat and I frequent (it's our #2 choice after the Bon Safeway), so we know the layout of it well. The vehicle crashed into the part of the store where the self checkout lanes are. Imagine this: you're scanning and bagging your groceries, minding your own business, and suddenly a giant SUV crashes through the wall right into the store. Hilarious! I'm laughing, but I'm sure it was scary and quite alarming for anyone who happened to be there. The store was closed for a day or two, but it's already up and running again, as you can see.
