Car crash Beau Rivage
Jeep plunges off garage
Car crashes through wall; driver unhurt
BILOXI - A woman driving a Jeep Liberty on Wednesday crashed through the retaining wall on the second floor of the parking garage at Beau Rivage Casino and Resort.
The Jeep landed just to the right of the driveway to enter the garage.
Biloxi police identified the driver as Sumi Johnson, 67, of Vancleave.
Police said she speeded up while negotiating the parking garage, although the reason is unclear. Johnson hit a parked Volkswagen, which pushed that vehicle partly over the wall and flipped her car around. The Jeep rolled backward over the ledge and landed on the passenger side of the car, according to Biloxi Police Sgt. Jackie Rhodes.
Beau Rivage spokeswoman Mary Cracchiolo said the driver was wearing a seat belt and her airbags deployed. She suffered minor injuries, according to the casino. Johnson was able to walk away from the accident.
No citations have been issued and the accident is still under investigation.
