"This is not the first time this has happened," says Mr. Whittaker, who operates a second-hand store in the building. "No. sir, this makes three that I know of."

It's a shame that there is no mention here (or on the Citizen Times) about the Fill the Boot fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association that the firefighters are taking part in. You know, given that they are stationed at this intersection and the ensuing traffic impacted their efforts.

I considered putting that in the article, but it did not seem to be part of the story of the truck striking the building. The driver tried to make an argument to the APD officer about the firefighters in the street, but it did not match with what I heard from people who witnessed the event.
We have a story scheduled on the 'fill the boot' fundraiser, hopefully without distraction this time.
Thank you.
