KYLE — A Hyundai Tucson crashed into Koy Chinese & Sushi in Kyle at approximately 2:30 p.m. March 4.

According to Cpl. Owens of the Kyle Police Department, it was “an unfortunate incident.”

“We don’t know about any medical conditions or anything like that,” he said. “We don’t know if they hit the wrong button; we don’t know if they had a medical episode .. [but] the driver was transported out of precaution.”

Although there were people close by to the front right section of the building, where the car crashed, they sustained no injuries, continued Owens, and pedestrians that were walking by were uninjured, as well.

Co-owner Jun Lai noted that he was on an errand just two minutes away when he received a call that someone had crashed into the restaurant: “I’ve never seen this before. My father’s never seen this before. [It’s] very crazy.”

“I’m just glad no one’s hurt; that’s the main priority. Everything else is replaceable and I’m glad no one was sitting in that first booth. That’s what matters,” said Lai.

No further information is available as of press time.
