A 57-year-old woman lost control of her Hyundai SUV, crashing into a Chinese restaurant in Farmingdale, NY, resulting in a fire. This incident is the second crash involving the Great Wall restaurant in about a year, with a previous incident linked to a drunk driver. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze caused by the crash, and both the Hyundai driver and a man from another vehicle were treated for injuries. The restaurant has now been struck twice in just over a year, raising concerns about safety in the area.
The series of crashes came to a blazing end when the Hyundai driver slammed into the Great Wall Chinese restaurant, located within a strip mall on Broadway and Boundary Avenue.
Photos and a video posted on the fire department's Facebook page show the Hyundai slightly tilted on its side, leaning against the restaurant with flames engulfing its front end and rising taller than the single-story eatery.
In another crash about a year ago, an allegedly drunk Mercedes driver was traveling on North Broadway when she veered off the road and collided with a parked Toyota, sending it through the storefront of the Chinese eatery.
Both the Hyundai driver and a 30-year-old man who was inside the Mustang were taken to local hospitals for evaluation and treatment, police said.
