A Planet Fitness in Lake Elsinore became the scene of an unusual incident on Monday when a driver crashed through its entrance. The driver reportedly suffered a medical emergency, causing her vehicle to breach the gym's entryway shortly after noon.
The car came to rest approximately 30 feet inside the facility. Remarkably, no other individuals within the gym sustained any injuries. The driver, described as being in her mid-40s, suffered moderate injuries, though the exact cause, whether from the crash or the medical event, remains unclear.
