Vehicle crashes into Stanley's Bar in northeast Minneapolis; no arrests

Stanley's Northeast Bar Room in Minneapolis is back open after a vehicle crashed into it on Monday morning, according to the establishment.

Minneapolis police said a vehicle traveling westbound on Lowry Avenue North "entered the intersection against a solid red light" and hit multiple vehicles around the intersection. The striking vehicle then veered from the roadway and hit a building, later identified as the bar and restaurant located on University Avenue Northeast. Officers responded to the incident at 8:11 a.m.

The driver of the striking vehicle, a male whose age has yet to be disclosed, sustained injuries that are not life-threatening and was taken to the hospital, according to police. Everyone else involved in the collision declined medical attention.

Photos posted on social media by Stanley's show broken windows and siding next to what appears to be a Chevrolet Silverado with a heavily damaged front end.

"Well… that's one way to get a table," the bar and restaurant said in the social media post. "Car vs. building: car wins."

The establishment was scheduled to reopen at 3 p.m.

Police said no arrests have been made in the crash, which is still under investigation.
