Cars Keep Crashing into Gelato Shop

A gelato shop in Washington, D.C. just can't catch a break. In the past two months, two cars have crashed into it. In January, an SUV crashed into the Dolcezza at the Penn Street location. Several people were injured in that incident. A Dolcezza representative said at that time that the "driver crashed into the front glass doors of the building while patrons and staff were inside." In the latest crash, the driver of the vehicle probably fell asleep behind the wheel. "Our luck is great right now," a company representative said sarcastically.

Possible Preaching Angle:

Do you ever have one of those seasons in life when the odds just seem stacked against you? When everything seems to be spiraling out of control? When you're still trying to recover from something, only to have something else come flatten you?
