    Sacramento, CA (September 12, 2023) A thief drove a vehicle into a toy and hobby store on Monday morning in an attempt to steal merchandise. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office was on the scene and said things did not go exactly how the burglar had planned.

    It all began around 4:00 a.m. when the alarm at R/C Country Hobbies went off on Micron Avenue. Store manager, Joe Raczkowski, hurried to the store when he was notified of the alarm. He said he arrived to find a car parked in front of the store with it’s wipers on, but there was no one inside the vehicle.

    The car crashed into the store in reverse, right through the store’s main entrance, and it was all captured on surveillance. The driver got out of the car and went into the store where he grabbed a trash can. Raczkowski, who was watching the entire thing unfold, said that the man used the trash can to hold items he was stealing. After filling the trash can with goods, the thief found himself trapped. The security gate was closed and the car couldn’t smash through it.

    The thief attempted to just walk away, leaving the car. Sgt. Amar Gandhi with the Sacramento Sheriff’s Office said the car was actually reported stolen earlier in September.

    Authorities are still trying to track down the thief who caused major damage to the store front when he crashed into it.

    Liability In Sacramento Car Accidents

    Despite improved safety measures for cars, motor vehicle accidents remain one of the leading causes of serious injury and death in the United States.  According to the CDC, “more than 32,000 people are killed and 2 million are injured each year from motor vehicle crashes.” There are a number of factors that could potentially contribute to a car accident including:

    • Speeding
    • Distracted driving
    • Inclement weather
    • Dangerous turns
    • Poorly designed roadways

    All drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid causing accidents. This is especially true for commercial drivers that work for a city. A number of collisions are due to drivers that make dangerous left turns. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code 21801, the driver of any vehicle intending to turn left must yield the right of way traveling from the opposite direction close enough to pose a hazard.

    If a negligent driver worked for a city, that city could potentially be liable in the event of an accident. Generally speaking, employers are vicariously liable for the negligent actions of their employees – insofar as those employees were working within the course and scope of their job duties. There are a number of steps that should be taken after a car accident.

    • Photos of the accident site should be taken.
    • Surveillance footage should be sought.
    • Medical records should be preserved.
    • Eye witnesses should be interviewed.
    • A thorough independent investigation should be conducted.

    The family of any victim that has died in a car accident may have legal recourse through a bodily injury claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills and funeral expenses. It is essential that evidence is properly preserved after a car accident. A car accident attorney can examine all of the facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
