A dramatic car accident happened on Monday evening, December 15, 2025, at a hardware store in Redwood City, California, where an out-of-control SUV plowed through the front window into flammable stock, including butane tanks and lighters, causing a fire to explode.
Fortunately, because of the actions of the store’s 16-year-old employee, Ricky Pera, what could have been far worse ended with no serious injuries reported and several people safely evacuated.
