Swoop crashes into building in Farpoint Valley

Date: 131007
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

Last night, residents of Farpoint Valley were shaken up when a swoop crashed into a building near Jailbirds. The swoop was piloted by a patron just leaving Jailbirds, and the vehicle was seen to swerve wildly before the collision, leading to the assumption that the pilot lost control of it right after starting it. The building suffered only superficial damage, but the swoop was seriously damaged and the pilot injured.

The reason for the accident are not yet known. Neither a technical malfunction nor driving under the influence of mind-altering substances can be discarded as the cause of the accident as of yet. From what is known, the pilot lost consciousness twice while visiting the club, and the staff was in the process of calling in medical assistance when the pilot left.

Soon afterwards, a shuttle landed on site and took the injured and bleeding driver away while a medic treated his wounds. City officials did not comment on the incident yet, citing that an investigation was under way.
