A vehicle jumped the parking stall block and struck the south entrance area of the 200 East Eighth Street Geary County Office Building on Friday. There were no injuries to the driver or persons inside the building. The area has been secured and no access will be allowed until repairs are completed.
Geary County Commissioner Keith Ascher said it is likely the driver hit the accelerator instead of the brake while parking the vehicle.
Beginning with regular business hours tomorrow, access to the county office building will be limited to the north entrance, according Ascher. This is the second such incident at the office building in recent months and Ascher said the commission will have to begin discussions on barriers to protect the facility.
The building is closed today due to the federal President's Day Holiday.
