LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A wine bar within the Arts District is selecting up the items after a automobile plowed into their enterprise.
The Wine Backyard was closed for 2 weeks and it has since reopened and they’re now practically $50,000 in damages.
“The driver wasn’t inebriated, so I think she just ran the light and thought she was going to make it and didn’t,” The Wine Backyard worker, Merho Habtemariam shared with 8 Information Now.
In keeping with Metro police, a driver ran a purple mild, hit one other driver who then crashed into the storefront window. The crash occurred as over the previous a number of months many companies within the space have both been damaged into, vandalized, or on this case, run into.
“I’m grateful that there were no patrons here and I’m grateful that no one was hurt in the incident. Red light cameras would help tremendously, and I know the city of Las Vegas is looking to build big cement bollards along the sidewalk to hopefully help these kinds of incidents from happening again,” Habtemariam mentioned.
