A motor home slammed into a Lakewood doughnut shop, knocking a customer seated inside across the restaurant, Colorado firefighters say.
The recreational vehicle struck Winchell’s Donut House about 7 a.m. Monday, Aug. 15, West Metro Fire Rescue reported on Twitter.
The driver of the RV was taken to the hospital, firefighters later reported.
A second person in the RV also was injured, KMGH reported. Two others and a dog in the motor home were not seriously hurt.
The customer was also taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, firefighters say. He was conscious and talking when firefighters arrived.
The doughnut shop suffered “heavy” damage, firefighters wrote. They sent up a drone to examine HVAC units on the roof and “possible collapse hazards.”
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, KMGH reported.
Lakewood is a city of 155,000 people next to Denver.
