The driver emerging from Wendy’s received a citation for failure to yield and an improper turn.
Despite the dramatic nature of the crash, all individuals involved declined medical treatment, and both vehicles were towed.
Shortly after, at about 3:12 p.m., a red Jeep veered off Burgin Parkway onto Quincy Street, driving over a traffic island and colliding with the back wall of Triangle Transmission at 62 Liberty St.
The impact caused significant damage, with the vehicle breaching the building’s exterior.
The driver, potentially experiencing a medical episode at the time of the crash, was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
