Car crashes through restaurant on North Clinton Ave

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – A business on North Clinton Avenue was heavily damaged when a car crashed into it Thursday night.

Rochester police said they responded to the 900 block of North Clinton Avenue around 11 p.m. for a burglar alarm at El Pilon Criollo.

The alarm was activated when a red SUV struck the building. Police determined the SUV was heading north when it left the road and hit the building destroying the dining room.

The owner tells News 8 she hopes to get a special permit from the city to be able to sell food out of the back of her building.

The driver was not injured and was not ticketed.

The Rochester Fire Department was assessing the condition of the building, but we have not heard from them directly.
