A vehicle crashed into the front exterior wall of the Target store on West Tennessee Street, though it did not penetrate the building.
The Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) reported on Facebook shortly before 2 a.m. on March 21 that the crash involved a single vehicle.
"The driver sustained serious injuries," TPD stated.
Authorities advised drivers and bystanders to avoid the area as parts of the parking lot were closed. However, traffic returned to normal later that morning, and the store appeared to be operating as usual.
This incident marks the second time in less than two months that a driver has crashed into a business along this stretch of West Tennessee Street. On February 7, a white sedan plowed through the entrance of Whataburger, located just east of the Target, causing extensive damage. Two people were injured, and the driver was arrested on a DUI charge.
Shards of windshield glass and pieces of the vehicleās grill remained embedded in the storeās stucco-like exterior wall. A store employee was seen taking photos of the damage.
"This remains an open and active investigation, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available," TPD said.
TPD requested that any witnesses who have not yet spoken with an officer call 850-891-4200.
