Car crashes into Old Town Starbucks
A busy intersection in the Old Town neighborhood was closed early Wednesday after a car crashed into the Starbucks Coffee at North and wells.
The accident occurred when two cars collided and one was sent into the Starbucks store. Emergency crews arrived on the scene around 5:30 am. Both drivers were taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The Starbucks at North Ave. and Wells St., is located in the same complex as Piper's Alley and the Second City Comedy Club. The coffeehouse is open 24 hours. Damage was extensive to the side of the building facing Wells sS. At least two of the window frames were damaged, the windows were shattered and the concrete below the shattered windows was mangled.
Because the Starbucks is opened 24 hours, is it always busy. Fortunately no one inside the store was injured.
