Man's case reveals cars slam into storefronts like 7-Eleven with alarming frequency — "This accident doesn't happen if somebody had spent about $800," co-founder of the Storefront Safety Council said.
Over a 15-year period, 6,253 cars crashed into 7-Eleven storefronts in the U.S. - an average of 1.14 per day.
7-Eleven apparently fought in court to withhold that data from the public.

Rob Reiter is co-founder of the Storefront Safety Council. He was retained as an expert by Carl's attorneys in this case.

Cars just hate 7-11s. Not the drivers, who are blameless, but the cars themselves.

I mean, those 7-11s aren't wearing helmets, and are barely visible.

Exactly. Who can blame the cars for slamming into them?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
