If you’re curious about the boarded up windows at the McDonald’s in Crown Hill, a car plowed into the restaurant 1:30 a.m. on Saturday.
Fortunately, there’s no report of any serious injury. A clerk at the gas station, where the McDonalds shares a space, says the car was full of teens and some of their parents had arrived at the scene after the crash.
The vehicle somehow lost control in the parking lot, drove through the planter and into the Holman Road restaurant. McDonald’s remains open, but with about a third of its seating area roped off.

so did the car drive off?
We don't have the police report (it's a weekend), but a witness told us parents arrived at the scene after the crash to pick up their kids, so it sounds like the car did not drive off.
Where was SPG at the time?
I dread the day my daughter starts driving.
If there was a giant hole in the roof with rotor blades sticking out of it, I could see you bringing my name up, but how am I possibly connected with this incident?
Hey, this made local tee-vee news.
The vehicle didn't “some how lose control”. The driver did. Much like all the SUV stories we read daily in where “it crashed” it didn't. The freaking driver crashed. Is driving a right or a “privilege”? Wonder if they got fries with that crash? Maybe we now need a 5-day waiting period for this driver to drive again?
Good point. I'm also annoyed when car crashes/collisions are referred to as “accidents”. Most of the time, they're the result of negligence or poor decisions. Not simply random misfortune.
Right on…we need more people in this country with this kind of common sense. When someone operates a 3 to 6000 pound vehicle he/she has the potential to kill or injure others. Why is our society so eager to grant this privilege, but so hesitant to hold people accountable when they so clearly fail to consider their inherent obligation to operate responsibly?
