Police were called to the Strip at around 5:06 p.m. Tuesday evening when a Mercury Sable careened into Sunspot Restaurant.
“Somebody … got clipped into oncoming traffic. He tried to avoid it, hopped up the curb and right into our Sunspot window … and door frame,” David Watson, Sunspot server, said. “If he had been maybe four inches to the left, he would have taken out the entire gas main. No one was injured, except for one bicycle,” Watson said.
According to the police report, the car was driven by an unidentified white male. The driver was reportedly turning left out of the Tin Roof parking lot. His car collided with a Nissan Maxima traveling east.
A comment that previously appeared here has been removed at the request of the quoted party.
The Sunspot is expected to reopen tomorrow for lunch.
“No $2 pints tonight, unfortunately,” Watson said.
