Fatal Crash at Chevrolet Dealership in Tacoma, WA

Happened last night in the early morning hours. Jeep Cherokee took out the entire front line of the dealerships inventory. Estimated well over $100,000 in damage. 8-10 cars damaged. The guy who was driving the Jeep was traveling at a very high rate of speed and was ejected during impact. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Yes, this is the brand new Camaro, V6 RS Package, perhaps the first to be damaged?

Wow, that's nasty. What the hell was the guy up to anyway??? Being chased? Drunk?

What's the deal with the hand drawn bio-hazard sign?

My question is if these were front line cars why are plated? Seems to me most of these were probably customer cars?

It's a Chevrolet dealership all the cars wrecked where trade in/dealer buys, none were technically brand new, but most of them were 1 owner.

They say it's being investigated, the speed limit is only 35mph there, I'm guessing he was going much faster.

Also the vehicles probably leaked fluid IE coolant, etc. that's probably why they put signs up. Most places don't have portable biohazard signs.

I understand that aspect that they werent all brand new and could be used. However going to a dealership to buy a car how many have plates on them? None in my experience. Thats what has me confused these look to be more like cars in for service not for sale.

Ah okay. At this dealer they have half used half new. They have a pretty big lot so they have the space to stock a lot of clean used cars.
