Holmstrom says it happened at 1172 Royvonne, at the Highland Apartments.
Salem Firefighter/Paramedics responded to the crash at 1:31 PM Tuesday.
Liz Patterson, the manager of Highland Apartments, was in her office, "When all of sudden a car came crashing into the building." Although Mrs. Patterson was not hurt, she was quite shaken.
62-year old Lola Morgan, the driver of the vehicle, apparently almost blacken out for a moment, causing her to smash her rental car into the side of the building.

Anon: How about teens ? Or anyone tuned to a cell-phone ? I quit at 88 --scared to death of the-others out there. Still can do it better than most, too. This one appears to have been physical black-out, which can happen even faster with teen-on-ANYthing...
