A terrible accident had taken place at a Dollar Tree store in Delaware and it left the community shaken. While people were shopping, a car slammed into the store destroying aisles along with the shop. In a video shared on TikTok, you can see the car moving through the store before hitting the wall at the end. What’s heartbreaking is that you can hear someone yelling “Oh my God” at what was happening. Even after hitting the wall, the car kept squealing which indicated that the driver couldn’t stop. According to several locals in the comments, the driver, a 44-year-old woman, had a seizure which led to the crash.
NBC Philadelphia provided more details as they shared that the driver was taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, two people were injured in the Delaware crash. One of them is a 76-year-old who got injured by some debris and was later released from the hospital. The other victim is a 97-year-old woman who had terrible luck as the car hit her. The publication reported that “She was airlifted to the hospital and has since been listed in stable, but critical condition.” There was one person in the comments who claimed to be a local. They said that the 97-year-old woman had passed away, but hopefully, this is just a rumor.
The video becomes even more horrifying as you can hear a lady screaming for help. People were also knocking on the car as someone was saying, “Leave her” (probably means the 97-year-old lady). The only annoying thing was how a woman in the store said at the end of the video, “Can I pay this,” while people were in distress. An employee is heard telling her “No, just put it down.” People have become desensitized in a crazy way.
People Reacting to the Delaware Crash
As people reacted differently to the Delaware crash, some were disturbed by the fact that people were filming instead of offering help. Some of the comments include:
@jojomojo69: “Useless people let’s video hell with helping”
@Stephanie Forbes: “why not help and make sure they didn’t have a medical emergency geuss [sic] there is only a few good of us left cause I would have been right to the car”
Others found some humor in the situation despite how serious it is. A lot of people said that they would have stolen from the store during the chaos and ran away. Others joked about the matter. It’s honestly disgusting. People were saying:
@UrGayBestFrannnx10: “Me, grabbing everything I need and running in this economy”
@Chela: “‘Can I pay for this’ had me”
@Andy L. Sellers: “still looks better than the dollar tree near my home”
@Casper S.: “Every thing 50% off”
@de Luca: “Is Joe Biden driving??”
In all honesty, such comments shouldn’t have been written in the first place. Amidst all the screaming and calls for help, people still found a way to joke about the matter like no one was hurt. Hoping that all those injured would be okay.
