Description
A donut shop in Auburn is cleaning up after a car crashed into the store late Tuesday night. Donut Star is on a curve on the road on Auburn Way South that employees say is dangerous.
Data from the Washington State Department of Transportation shows six crashes have happened on this curve in 2022, two of them ending with cars crashing into Donut Star. Just six weeks ago, on October 22 a different car crashed into the store.
“It's frustrating for the owner,” said Kelly Poi, an employee at Donut Star. “Also, for us, because if it's affecting the business, you know, I don't have a job to work here, right?”
Donut Star purchased its own concrete barriers to help protect their building, but what they want to see is for the City of Auburn to put a barrier alongside the road.
“Not just to protect the building, but for everybody, you know, in here and the customers and stuff like that or even the people that walk on the sidewalks,” said Poi.
Auburn Police say despite signs being put up by the city to alert people of the turn, this curve by the donut shop is a problem area.
“What happens is they get comfortable on that stretch and then the turn comes up out of nowhere. If you're speeding or distracted, it comes even quicker,” said Kolby Crossley, the Public Information Officer with the Auburn Police Department.
