Wilsonville, Oregon | May 21, 2024 - A suspected drunk driver caused significant disruptions after crashing into the front entrance of a Chipotle restaurant in Wilsonville and attempting to evade police, according to authorities.
The Wilsonville Police Department and Clackamas County deputies responded to several reports of a dangerous driver near Wilsonville Town Center shortly before 1:00 p.m. on Monday. Officials reported the vehicle had damaged several light fixtures in the parking lot before it crashed through the main entrance of the Chipotle.
Community members attempted to intervene, but the suspect fled the scene, subsequently crashing into a parked car at the Evergreen Child Development Center. The driver then attempted to escape on foot but was detained by bystanders until deputies arrived.
The suspect now faces multiple charges, including first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal mischief, failure to perform duties of a driver when property is damaged, reckless driving, reckless endangering, and driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII).
