Unlicensed driver, 19, hits Wendy’s

A teenager without a driver’s license drove his vehicle into a Wendy’s restaurant this morning.

Around 5:40 a.m., the 19-year-old was picking up a friend from the Wendy’s at the corner of Wayne Avenue and Wyoming Street. The man said he thought he put the vehicle in reverse to back into a parking space, but instead drove straight into a brick wall.

No one was hurt, and alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash.

The drive-thru is open, but customers cannot go inside the restaurant, according to reports. Management said they hope to have the dining room open by the end of the week.

Police said the man will be cited.
