Suspected Drunken Driver Crashes Into Burger King: Aurora PD

AURORA, IL — A woman suspected of driving impaired crashed Nov. 25 into a Burger King on Aurora's East Side, police said.

Officers were dispatched around 10 p.m. to the fast-food restaurant off the intersection of East New York Street and North Farnsworth Avenue after several witnesses called 911 to report the crash.

The driver of a black 2017 Cadillac CTS, a 22-year-old woman from Aurora, told officers she lost control of the sedan, resulting in her striking the front window area of the establishment, Aurora police spokesperson Jim Levicki told Patch.

No customers or employees were injured in the crash, police said. The damage to the restaurant was limited to the window area.

During their initial interaction with the woman, police "noted signs of possible impairment" and learned she had been involved in a minor crash with another car just west of the intersection before hitting the restaurant, Levicki said. Officers also found open alcohol inside her car, according to police.

Paramedics evaluated the driver, who declined to be taken to the hospital. She completed police's field sobriety testing and was taken into custody for a suspected driving under the influence charge.
