A customer lunching at Flamingo’s Family Restaurant was injured Thursday morning when a vehicle ran into the building.
The 47-year-old Abbotsford woman was seated in a booth at the restaurant at 1017 E. Green Bay St. when a Dodge van struck the southwest corner of the building about 11:20 a.m., according to a Shawano police report.
The driver, a 93-year-old Shawano woman, told police she had entered the parking lot looking for her daughter and didn’t see the building in front of her, according to the report.
The collision pushed a booth forward, pinching the customer between the booth chair and the table. She was treated at the scene by Shawano Ambulance for an injury to her rib area, according to the report.
There was minor damage to the van and moderate damage to the building.
The driver was not injured. A driver behavioral form was filled out, meaning she will have to take a test to determine whether she will keep her driver’s license.
