COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A car crashed into a popular family-owned Marietta pizza shop, and now they can’t fully reopen until the wall is repaired.
Dramatic video shows customers inside Solar Slice Pizza when the car came flying into the lot.
It crashed into a parked vehicle that two people had just gotten out of moments before, Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell learned.
The parked car then slammed into the wall of the restaurant.
“If that car wasn’t there, we’d have a white Kia Soul inside the restaurant,” said Zachary Wyatt, the owner. “The roof would probably be down. We’d be out of business.”
The owner of the popular pizza shop in Cobb County says the driver had a medical emergency and lost control of the vehicle.
“(They) passed out and then regained consciousness, jumped the curb, foot on the gas, ran into the car parked on the side of the building,” he said.
Solar Slice had to put up a temporary wall to keep the structure from caving in.
The day after the crash happened, a truck that belonged to Wyatt’s shift manager went up in flames, creating yet another unexpected problem.
“ I was here for about three and a half hours and a gentleman stuck his head in the back and said, ‘Y’all know there’s a truck on fire.’ And it was mine, mine and my fathers. Firefighters seem to think it was an electrical short in the dash somewhere you can tell by the damage there,” Clayton Stewart said.
Wyatt created a GoFundMe page to help Stewart.
