Nobody Was Hurt but the Bricks

At 9:18 this morning, a McDonald's restaurant in New Mexico got a bad surprise. Photos of this scene copyright Camille Kimball

This is the McDonald's on Route 66 in Gallup. No one was hurt, not inside the restaurant nor inside the GMC Yukon. The Yukon was driven by an elderly woman who, observers say, seemed to step on the gas instead of the brake as she attempted to park. An elderly man in the passenger seat was also unhurt.

The children's play area was a few feet to the left of the crash, but no children were hurt nor anyone else inside the restaurant.

Remarkably, witnesses say the McDonald's restaurant will not be closing for the day. The play area will be off limits, though.
