How Does Somebody Crash Their Vehicle Into A Building?

You hear about it on the news all the time. People are crashing their vehicles into buildings. Honestly, I can't figure that one out. The building is standing still. It's not going to move and is definitely in plain sight. The driver has the ability to change the direction of the car with the steering wheel. How about hitting the brakes? I just don't get it.

Excuses For Crashing Into A Building

I have basically come up with a couple of legitimate excuses for a driver to crash into a building. Number one, ice. If you hit a slick spot, there's no controlling which direction you're headed. Though, you should slow down to avoid a risky situation like that. I'll definitely give a medical problem some leeway. If you pass out behind the wheel, the building doesn't have a chance. Finally, a mechanical issue is out of your hands. If the brakes go out, there's no way you're stopping before smashing into a target.
