» Drive-Thru Service Not Actually Available: A scary moment recently for Dr. Debbie White, veterinarian and co-host of syndicated weekend show Animal Radio. A minivan plowed into the lobby of White's Las Vegas private practice while the office was open for business. Fortunately, no people or animals were hurt and the driver of the van and her daughter were also not injured despite tremendous damage to both the building and the vehicle. Amazingly, it's the second time a car has run into White's building which, by the way, is not located on a street corner. The vet and talk show host calls the latest accident "startling" and reports that it "didn't take long for the drive thru jokes to start."
