I was just discussing this with my spouse. But we live nearby and we know the specific corner and this particular store extremely well. The thing that makes it sound like it was purposeful, rather than accidental is that the speed you need to make it from the street, across the fairly wide sidewalk (at this particular spot), through the glass wall, all the heavy tables and large, wooden block stools, all the people and into the wall at the other end of the store.....it just can't be explained with the force you'd use on the brake pedal to slow down, going around the bend. You'd have to not only hit the gas hard, you'd have to start accelerating a few yards up the road before hitting the corner. You'd have to floor it. I'm almost certain this was not an accident.

My heart goes out to all the people involved, especially the families of the person who lost their life, the many injured, the store employees (who are almost all regulars for many years) and the store manager, who is a local from my town and whom I know as well. This is absolutely horrifying on every level.
