Unlicensed Driver Slams Into Brooklyn Restaurant

Brooklyn, NY – An unlicensed driver plowed into an outdoor dining area in Brooklyn around dusk on Tuesday injuring three people. Surveillance video captures the shocking scene when an out-of-control pickup truck crashed into L’Wren’s curbside dining area, slamming into several tables where customers were eating. Police authorities charged the driver, about 20 years old, with operating a vehicle without a license.

Roughly 9,000 restaurants across NYC have been approved to open into some part of the street despite the coronavirus pandemic. Even if establishments are required to put up 6-inch planters or barricades to provide a buffer between diners and traffic, accidents could not be completely avoided.
