Man has seizure while driving, crashes into a Wendy's
A man believed to have suffered a seizure while driving his car crashed into a Wendy’s in
The driver crashed into the rear of the building, damaging both his car and the restaurant. A hole was knocked into the freezer where all of the restaurant’s food is stored, and food was thrown everywhere, says the restaurant's general manager Becky Rodriguez. Ceiling tiles and beams also fell.
The driver’s foot was stuck on the car’s accelerator after the crash, causing the back tires to spin. Eventually the tires began to smoke, and the smoke came in through the drive-through window and filled the rear of the building.
It took the rest of the day to clear out the smoke, and the restaurant had to remain closed until 8 p.m. that night. The Wendy’s will be able to continue operating with the use of a portable refrigeration unit.
The driver, whose name has not been released, was taken to the hospital for his injuries by the Killeen Fire Department. No Wendy’s employees were hurt.
