A popular restaurant in the northern suburbs of Boston is closed for the foreseeable future after an early-morning car crash over the weekend.
According to an article from NBC10 Boston, Massachusetts State Police indicate that a driver crashed his car into School Street Foods in Lynnfield sometime after 1:30 on Sunday morning after being seen driving erratically on Route 1 north. The article says that Benjamin Robert Pimental of Lynnfield was allegedly driving under the influence when his car crashed into the dining spot and he was arrested for operating under the influence, failure to stop, negligent operation, and other motor vehicle related charges. A Facebook reel from School Street food indicates that the building is "uninhabitable" and whether the restaurant can reopen is to be determined.
The car crash comes on the heels of a location of School Street Foods in Methuen recently debuting, and that location is open for business.
