Driver Crashes Into Front of Lifetime Fitness

The driver of a 1999 Audi crashed into  the front of the Burr Ridge Lifetime Fitness earlier this month, police said.

The 71-year-old driver was attempting to leave when the Audi suddenly accelerated from a parked position, according to a police report. The incident occurred at 9:19 a.m. May 3 at the fitness facility, located on the 600 block of Burr Ridge Parkway.

The Audi had to be towed from the scene, but there were no injuries reported. Lifetime Fitness did not immediately provide police with a damage estimate. The police report for this incident also did not indicate whether the business had to temporarily close as a result of the incident.

Nearby Hinsdale had three incidents of cars hitting buildings over a period of five weeks starting on Feb. 21. Since then, the village is considering the purchase of 22 bollards—sturdy post-like barriers—to  be installed in front of downtown businesses for protection.
