Frightening Photos: Driver Crashes Into Popular Saugerties Restaurant

Another Hudson Valley business has fell victim to one of the most unexpected adversaries: a car crashing through their building.

From post offices to industrial supply companies and everything in between, there have been a surprisingly large amount of incidents involving Hudson Valley vehicles and buildings. This time, the crash took place at one of Saugerties, NY's favorite local restaurants.

"Dallas Hot Wieners in Saugerties will be closed until further notice", owner Freddy Tampasis recently posted on Facebook. Photos he shared (below) show exactly how serious the situation actually was. 

Is There a Vehicle-into-Building Epidemic?

"Thank god no customers or employees were hurt", Tampasis continued. While many commenters echoed his sentiment, others expressed their disbelief that this type of accident was becoming so common.

"Sorry... The same thing happened up the street from you on North Front Street last night. Car into the fitness center", shared one commenter. Other recent vehicle-into-building incidents include the Quickway Diner and a medical building.
