Wrecks almost happen hourly trying to leave that street. You can't see around the restaurant enough to see cars coming around that bend until it is almost too late. Double that risk with cars exiting the mall on that driveway directly across the street. Many of us who do use that street will go into the shopping center to the left & exit through the driveway there. Something needs to be done about that exit.

Wow, that was some impact to knock the vehicle from Southland Blvd all the way down Soutwest to Sunset, around a corner and another 3 blocks before coming to rest that close to Target!!! I'm glad the women was ok!
