The owner of Bingo identified the pedestrian as the owner of a driving school also housed in the same building. Razmik Beglarian said the man was waiting at the intersection to cross the street and drop off his mail as a postal box, as he does every day. Witnesses said the driver of the Contour appeared to temporarily pass out after crashing into the store. He regained consciousness and was walking after several people removed debris from atop his car so he could get out. Beglarian said he considered himself fortunate because he spends most of his time at the cash register aisle, which the car plowed through. ``I was over at the phone,'' he said. ``I was really lucky. If I had been at the register, the car would have hit me.''
