MARLOW Okla_ Minutes before
the lunch rush Thursday, a pick-up truck crashed into a restaurant in Marlow.
Witnesses say
the truck was traveling down West Main
Avenue a little after 11:00 when it turned onto North
Broadway and slammed into the front of the building near the cash register.
"I first
thought something blew up," restaurant owner Brenda Thurber said "It was so
loud. Then, when I looked up, I heard breaking glass."
Luckily, the
restaurant's staff was in the back, preparing for the high school students to
come in for the lunch rush. No customers were inside at the time.
One child
passenger in the truck was taken to the hospital by his mother. No one else was
injured.
