A San Antonio restaurant will stay open after a vehicle crashed into its building early on Friday, March 13. The San Antonio Fire Department (SAFD) received a report of the incident at 6:54 a.m.
A staff member at the Northwest Side Las Palapas location told MySA during an 8:34 a.m. call that, for the first hour or two, the business would only be serving customers through the drive-thru or to-go pickup. They added that they had “just finished cleaning up.”
SAFD spokesperson Joseph Arrington tells MySA that it occurred after an older adult “reportedly inadvertently struck the building.” Photos show debris near the property’s parking lot area and a hole near the windows neighboring the entry doors.
“There were no injuries associated with the event, and SAFD resources were canceled,” Arrington said.

Operations returned to normal shortly after. During MySA’s visit to the location at around 9 a.m., the shop was offering its usual services, including dine-in access. The eatery is located at 8005 Callaghan Road, near Interstate 10 and Balcones Heights.
