I was driving on St. Charles when this happened and if I were two or three seconds slower I would have been hit with the exploding wall. It sounded like a bomb when the car went through the wall and the pieces flew across the road and hit the car going in the other direction. Thank God a golf cart wasn't going by at that time! The air bags in the other car were deployed and the ladies were standing outside of the car afterwards. They both were okay but one of the women said she thought she just had a broken finger. The women who went through the wall was pulled out of her car by several wonderful gentlemen who ran to her aid. She seemed seriously injured even though both air bags deployed. I can't imagine how fast the car was going when it went through the wall. I'm still shocked at what I heard and saw. All I remember was the loud boom and large and small stones flying all over the road. I do hope she will be okay.
