Engineer to inspect damage after car slams into Subway sandwich shop in Evanston, Illinois
An engineer was to examine structural damage to a Subway sandwich shop in Evanston, Illinois, after a car slammed into it on Tuesday and nearly hit a customer.
The crash happened around 2 p.m. at the Subway in Suite 3 of the shopping center at 3330 Central St., near Crawford Avenue in the northwest corner of the north Chicago suburb.
Witnesses said the car stopped just short of a person eating.
"It sounded like an explosion. I thought a bomb went off," said Dr. Peter Jaggard. "But then I saw the front of this car sticking through the door, and I thought, you know, the Lord is watching over me right now, because it was literally two feet from where I was sitting."
Fortunately, no one was hurt in the incident.
It was not immediately learned whether the driver was ticketed. Updates on the structural examination of the building were not immediately available Wednesday.
