I witnessed this crash, & the pedestrians involved were extremely lucky to have not been seriously hurt. I don;t know the reson for the crash, but after taking down a give Way sign, running over the footpath, rubbish bins, & into the side of the building, I think something is seriously wrong. As a witnesses view, the driver appeared to not be concentrating. . . .
Another senior menace..

From what I had seen, this driver wasn't an elderly person. She was a reasonably younger person. Probably on the phone txting. . . . not concentrating.
