  • Vehicles crash into buildings with surprising frequency in the US: more than 100 times each day.
  • Nearly half of those cause an injury, while one in 10 is a deliberate attack by thieves to steal cash or goods.
  • On average, one of those crashes each day happens at a 7-Eleven.

On what began as a typical Wednesday in 2017, a Chicago man going by "Carl" stopped at his local 7-Eleven to grab his usual cup of coffee and wait for his carpool ride to work.
