It happens at least once every 53 years or so. A motor vehicle smashes into the storefront on the corner of 24th Avenue West and Third Street.

Some time around 1974, give or take a couple of years, a truck lost its breaks and went through the side of the same building. If you look at the side of the building facing 24th Avenue West you can see where it was repaired.

Just like to say that I feel as if that location is cursed. In my 30+ years here, I honestly believe that there has been several accidents in that spot ... and as if that has happened more than once within the past 20 years. I could be wrong, but regardless, that spot is rough to those who have bad brakes. I, being somebody who does have bad brakes and cannot afford to fix them, have found  ways around using the steep hills. If you are one of those from Duluth who has to travel below the hill with bad brakes, give yourself time and find less of a hill. Duluth is big enough for that to be possible. It is better to waste gas than waste a life. (Sorry for the cheesy PSA.)
