Driver Crashes Into Her Own Insurance Company

Maybe the Saab sedan was possessed by the spirit of the mysterious "Mayhem" guy from the Allstate commercials.

Fire Department officials in Tampa, Fla., still are not sure why the car, driven by a mother with her child and a male passenger, seemed to swerve off the road, jump a curb and leave a gaping hole in the wall of the building where the driver's insurance agent works.

After the Tampa Fire Department got a call about 8:30 p.m. Monday, they found the car still wedged in the wall of the one-story concrete-block office. The building was closed for business and no one in the car was hurt.

Apparently not long after, someone pulled up and told rescuers that he was, in fact, the car's insurance agent, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

Turns out Adrian Fernandez's business at 6115 N. Armenia Ave. in Tampa -- appropriately named Adrian Fernandez Insurance -- has been hit twice before. According to MapQuest, it's not on a deadman's curve or anything. Police said they were investigating, and the woman's name was not released.

A spokeswoman for Fernandez said the company was "not interested" in commenting and hung up.

Maybe they need to make an appointment with that annoying Geico lizard.
