If I might adjust the prompt to share an actual story:
Once as a teenager I got a call from a coworker telling me "Don't come into work, some lady drove though the front door"
I thought he was screwing with me.
Nope, some lady had diesel runaway at the business next door. Hopped the curb and crashed into our front door. (So I was later told.)
I later saw that coworker at the mall.
