GREEN COVE SPRINGS – The last thing Chris Chambless expected when he showed up for work on Friday, Feb. 6, was to find the Supervisor of Elections Office had added a drive-thru.
According to Chambless, a man lost control of his vehicle after hitting a curb while driving northbound at a high rate of speed on Orange Avenue, then flipping and hitting the elections office shortly after 5:40 a.m.
While the vehicle didn’t go into the office, it punched a hole into the wall and knocked materials off the wall and furniture around.
“Thankfully, nobody was hurt,” Chambless, the Supervisor of Elections, said. “It decimated a workstation. If somebody was sitting there, that would have been terrible.”
The Green Cove Springs Police Department responded to the accident. As of Tuesday afternoon, the accident report had not been completed.
Chambless said the driver hit a curb and over-corrected, then hit the median, over-corrected again and flipped into the building.
He climbed from the vehicle and walked to the Dunkin’ and asked workers if they’d help him find his truck.
