Aberdeen, Washington Man Crashes Van into 7-11 and Causes Serious Personal Injuries to Mother and Her 2-Year-Old Daugter | Seattle Car Accident Lawyer

Blog Categories:

A 57-year-old man in Aberdeen crashed his van into a 7-11 Friday night and caused serious personal injuries. The man, Kelvin Kinney, had parked his blue Chevrolet van directly in front of the 7-11 convenience store and ended up somehow losing control of the vehicle. The van smashed through the front entrance and ended up traveling about 20 feet through, all the way to the back of the store.

A woman and her 2-year-old daughter were standing near the front door, and were hit by the van. The mother, a 30-year-old, was treated for personal injuries at Grays Harbor Community Hospital and released a short time later. The 2-year-old was immediately taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with serious, internal personal injuries.

Perhaps the most disturbing detail of this accident was that it was the second time in a year that the man had crashed into a building. Records show that Kinney crashed into a former car showroom in Aberdeen last April. For that crash, investigators determined that Kinney suffered from a diabetic medical issue and he was charged with negligent driving.

The fact that this is the second time that the same man has crashed into a building, most likely again because of his medical condition and negligence, is troubling at best. If you have a medical condition that requires strict monitoring and control, perhaps you should not operate a motor vehicle. This man was not in a the physical and mental condition to drive and injured two innocent individuals in this car accident.

We hope and wish for a full and quick recovery for the mother and her young daughter.
