UPDATED: SUV crashed into Newtown restaurant Monday

An SUV crashed into a Newtown restaurant yesterday afternoon.  The accident happened around 2:30pm at King’s Breakfast & Lunch on South Main Street. 

The vehicle came through the wall of the wood-frame building.  Botsford Fire Rescue and the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps responded to the scene.  Emergency repairs were made to a door, window and section of the wall.   Newtown's fire marshal, building inspector and food inspector are investigating.

Newtown Police say a southbound vehicle, operated by 79-year old Theodore Shear of Bridgewater, tried to turn left into the driveway in front of the SUV.  The other driver, 59-year old Douglas Gabel of Monroe, turned abruptly to avoid hitting the Acura, continued through the parking lot and entered the exterior wall with its front bumper. 

The bumper struck a person sitting in a chair with her back to the wall.  No injures were reported. 

Shear was cited for failure to grant the right of way at a driveway.
