Man Crashes Car Into RMV Building While Taking Driver's Test

Driving-test examiner Laurie Holden said she was deciding whether to give a new driver a passing grade yesterday when the road test ended with him crashing his car through the Rutherford County Driver License Station in Murfreesboro.

The car rammed into the waiting room filled with seated customers — injuring two, the state Department of Safety reported.

They were taken to Middle Tennessee Medical Center in Murfreesboro. Their names and the extent of their injuries were not immediately known.

"I remember telling him to stop as we pulled up to the building," said Holden, who has worked as an examiner for seven years. "The next thing I knew it was raining bricks all around us."

Investigators believe the driver hit the accelerator instead of the brake.

The driver's license station at 1035 Samsonite Blvd. was boarded up and temporarily closed yesterday. Public safety and code enforcement officials weren't sure whether it would reopen today.

Phyllis Reuhland, the Murfreesboro branch supervisor, said she nearly jumped out of her skin when the crash occurred.
