Driver a little bit too late for brake job

Longview, Wash. -- A man who crashed his car into an automobile service center this week in Longview, Wash., had been heading there to get a brake job.

The unidentified driver admitted that while going to the service center, the car's brakes stopped working and he sped through the front window of the business, the Longview (Wash.) Daily-News reported Wednesday.

Longview patrolman Erik Hendrickson said the force of the impact was so strong a large portion of the car wound up inside the building.

"The entire hood went into the store. Six or eight feet of the car was inside the store," Hendrickson said.

While the driver sent the car to another facility for repair following Monday's crash, the manager of the damaged center noted how the same thing had happened twice before.

"It's pretty much the same spot, too," manager Ken Millus told the newspaper. "When you hear it, you're not even surprised anymore."
