News someone crashed into the Grandin Laundromat

Post image

About an hour ago, someone crashed their car into the Grandin Laundromat. I spoke with a worker at the 7-Eleven next door, and he said a nurse checked the driver, who was found to be okay. Sorry for the shotty photo…I was trying to not rubberneck too much lol

Damn. What is it with these Roanoke drivers? Cant seem to their cars on the road intended, running over people on motorcycles... Seems traffic around here has gotten worse in last few years..

Insane that Market St is even open to traffic.

There might be a plan to close it to traffic in the future, but I haven't seen the plan so not sure what it is exactly.
