A 31-year-old man has been detained by Abbotsford police after a vehicle crashed into an A&W restaurant on South Fraser Way Sunday morning. Abbotsford Assistant Fire Chief Dave Rivett says three patrons inside the restaurant suffered minor injuries.
At approximately 10:00 a.m., police received a report of an erratic driver on South Fraser Way.
Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman told Global BC that he was finishing breakfast at a local restaurant when he saw a car travelling at “an unbelievably high rate of speed.”
“It actually went into oncoming traffic and I was absolutely amazed that it didn’t hit anybody,” adds Banman.
As police were responding to the call, they received another report of a vehicle crashing into a nearby A&W restaurant.
Abbotsford Police say an investigation into impaired driving is underway, adding that they are not sure if the restaurant was intentionally targeted.
Investigators are appealing to any witnesses who may have seen the vehicle’s movements prior to the crash. Anyone with information connected to this incident is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225, text 222973 (abbypd) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
