A deadly problem is going largely untracked: cars crashing into storefronts.
It happened in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts Tuesday night as cars hit two different CVS stores and dozens of other times just in the past year.
In each of those incidents no one inside the store was hurt.
But that's not always the case. When a car crashed into the Hingham Apple store earlier this month, one man was killed and 20 were injured.
"Most of these accidents are driver error accidents," said Robert Reiter, co-founder of the Storefront Safety Council.
The Storefront Safety Council tracks reports of these crashes across the country.
Nationwide, they found approximately 100 of these crashes happen every day, killing 2600 people annually.
"These are people who just went into the dentist office or just wanting to get their nails done, or just wanting to have lunch," Reiter said.
There's no official record of how often this happens in Rhode Island or Massachusetts.
The NBC 10 News archives show more than two dozen storefront crashes in 2022 alone including three crashing caught on camera: car slamming into a Dollar Tree in Woonsocket, crashing into a Fall River market, and barreling into a Trump store in Easton.
Reiter believes there's a simple fix.
"It's getting clearer that just putting up a barrier is the solution because it doesn't matter if the driver has a heart attack or the driver is impaired or the driver makes a pedal error, it doesn't matter because there's a barrier up there that's going to take care of it," he said.
There's no law in Rhode Island or Massachusetts requiring barriers but a high-profile incident like the Apple Store crash could change that.
"There's a duty of care. If you're a shopping center owner and you're hoping that 15,000 people a day come to your shopping center and shop at your stores. You have to keep them safe," he said.
