Another Reason Why Going To The DMV Sucks

Office stays open after car crash

'LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A car crashed through a wall at a state revenue office without blocking the entrance.

That worked out well for employees and customers. They continued to go about their business, renewing drivers licenses and vehicle registrations.

No one was hurt when a 2006 Chrysler 300, driven by Fannie Lee Harris, 63, of Little Rock, burst through windows and a glass door at about 2 p.m. Wednesday, police said.

The office at the Ashley Square Shopping Center on North Rodney Parham Road in west Little Rock planned to stay open through repairs, office supervisor Franklin Furlough said.

"We're the state revenue office. We don't quit for the rain, sleet or snow," he said. "We don't miss a beat."

Harris told police she didn't know what caused the accident but said her leg might have "locked up on the gas." Her husband, Charles Harris, was in the car with her.

"I don't know what happened," he said. "We drove up to park, and the next thing I know, we were coming in ... it was kind of in slow motion." Harris said he was thankful no one was injured.

Cashier Carla Chase said a woman having her picture for a drivers license was just a few feet from where the car crash. The woman jumped over a counter to get clear of the vehicle.

"If it had kept going, it would have pinned her," Chase said. "The sound of it was the scariest part."'
