Yesterday morning a driver reportedly lost control of his car and smashed into the play area at a Utica Avenue McDonald's, denting the jungle gym and leaving the driver with minor injuries. Luckily the driver crashed at around 10:40 a.m., before there were any children in the area.
One witness told the Post, "He lost control and went inside the McDonald’s. I think that another car cut him off." Or maybe the overwhelming desire for a Shamrock Shake just took hold. The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to Kings County Hospital.
