Dude attempts suicide by backing new car into showroom

A man who backed a car through the windows of a Toyota showroom Tuesday told police he was attempting suicide.

According to accounts from police and a Preston employee, 19-year-old Frank Lee Blinn walked into the car dealership’s showroom on Wilmington Road shortly after the business opened at 9 a.m. While no one was in the room, he allegedly found keys inside a white 2007 Toyota Camry sedan with a spoiler, started it, then backed up, crashing the car through two front plate glass windows.

Shattered glass lay on the sidewalk as employees stood looking at the mess. He then got out of the car and ran. A Preston employee who saw Blinn run from the showroom into the nearby Eckerd Drug store called police. Neshannock Township and state police found Blinn inside the drug store and asked for his identification. He said he had none, but told an officer his name. Full article here.
