A Coors Light semi-truck crashed into a Popeyes restaurant in Brooklyn, New York City, after it collided with a white Subaru at an intersection on Wednesday evening, February 21st.
The details: At around 7:20 p.m., the truck moved through a red light at the intersection of Metropolitan and Vandervoort Avenues and hit the Subaru, which had a green light. Both vehicles ended up crashing into the restaurant, causing shattered windows and doors.
