Yet Another Subaru Owner Rams Through A Dealership’s Showroom

The old stereotype is Mustangs crash into crowds while leaving car meets, but Subarus are gaining a bad reputation after another one was driven through a dealership’s showroom. Instead of being some horrible mistake, just like the last time, the incident was reportedly quite intentional.

Late car payments are on the rise.

This tragic accident, which left eight injured, two of them in critical condition, went down at a CarMax in Inglewood, California. Witnesses told local reporters the owner of the Subaru Outback didn’t like the offer he received for his car, getting into an argument with staff before driving the wagon through the front doors of the showroom.

Footage taken by one witness and shared on Instagram shows the Subaru as it exited the front doors, which had been knocked down before, then reversing back inside as people screamed and scrambled to get out of the way.

The guy hit some of the desks, many of which were scattered and broken into pieces from before, flipping his severely damaged vehicle around before ramming through a back window.

Police did catch up with the suspect after the 25-year-old turned himself in. NBCLA reports the man, named Andrew Arroyo, was once arrested on suspicion of DUI and was still on probation. He will make his first court appearance on Tuesday, March 11.

We’ve been to dealerships where we were treated unfairly and it’s infuriating. But to drive your car through the showroom, mowing down people and wrecking as much of the inside as you can, that’s completely unhinged.

While we know people do things like this because they have serious issues, it’s still a shocking reminder you always need to be ready for crazy stuff like this. Surely nobody who works at that CarMax or who were there shopping thought they’d be dodging a Subaru inside, yet that’s what they faced in a heartbeat.
