Police accident investigators blamed a "coffee shop barista with bad handwriting" for a non-injury vehicle accident that occurred early this morning.
According to officer Toshi Bonfiglio, motorist Nougat Steech had just left the drive-through at a nearby Starbucks coffee shop when she became preoccupied by something the barista had written on the cup. "She was trying to discipher it and got distracted and hit a tree," said Bonfiglio. "Fortunately, she's okay." A handwriting expert at the police laboratory subsequently determined the writing on the cup said, "Race together."

"It's his fault," Bonfiglio said of the unidentified barista while holding up the cup for reporters to see. "He writes as if he's holding the pen with his feet. If he had legible handwriting, this accident would never have happened."
Starbucks apologized to the driver and offered her a free Verismo To-Go 12-ounce tumbler and 50 packs of Via instant coffee, police said.
