Just before 11am Thursday morning the driver of a Ford pickup traveling westbound on East Davis missed a curve and ran into the Great American Car Lot.
According to witnesses the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed as he approached the intersection of Sixth and East Davis. The driver told Conroe Police he had been on the cellphone when he missed the curve and barely missing the new “Welcome To Conroe” brick sign ran into the lot.
Damage was done not just to the sign electrical but also to the parking lot rails and to the Ford Bronco that was for sale.
The driver was uninjured. Tommy’s wrecker spent some time attempting to load the vehicle as it had hi centered the parking lot rails.
