Wendy's employee accidentally crashes car into Oakland Park restaurant where he works, Broward officials say
The crash happened around 8:18 a.m. at the Wendy's located at 1040 E Commercial Boulevard, according to Oakland Park Fire Rescue. Crews responded to reports of a vehicle into a building and arrived to find a car lodged inside the lobby area of the restaurant.
No patrons were inside at the time of the crash. The only person injured was the driver — an employee of the restaurant — who sustained minor injuries and refused transport to a hospital, fire officials said.
Tables and chairs inside the fast food location were visibly smashed in the aftermath. Broward Sheriff's Office deputies and fire rescue crews remained on the scene, and BSO is leading the investigation.
A city official was requested to inspect the damage and determine whether the building is safe to remain open for business.

Stephen Miller Pledges Even More ‘Resources' for D.C. Crackdown
President Trump's deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, said on Wednesday that the administration planned to add 'thousands more resources' to its crackdown on crime underway in Washington. Mr. Miller said this while standing at a burger restaurant inside a train station in the middle of the afternoon. He was with Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The three decided to drop by the Shake Shack in Union Station so they could buy burgers for and take pictures with some of the National Guard troops who are patrolling the train hall as part of the administration's crackdown. But as the trio of top Trump officials walked through the cavernous train hall, they were heckled and booed by people in transit. Inside the Shake Shack, Mr. Miller declared that the jeering would directly result in the administration's throwing more resources at lowering crime rates that Mr. Trump has called 'totally out of control' but that have actually fallen sharply the past two years. 'I'm glad they're here today,' Mr. Miller said of the hecklers, 'because me, Pete and the vice president are all going to leave here and, inspired by them, we're going to add thousands more resources to this city to get the criminals and the gang members out of here.' The White House and Mr. Miller did not immediately respond to requests for comment on who would be joining in the crackdown effort. The shouting and booing provided a melodramatic foil for Mr. Miller and the other officials to cast themselves as fighting against a lawless city ruined by liberal maniacs. 'All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been,' Mr. Miller said. Want all of The Times?
