The owner of a New Rochelle restaurant suddenly has a lot of problems to deal with after a car crashed into his business Wednesday afternoon.
New Rochelle police say it happened before 4:30 p.m. on Main Street near Division Street.
The owner of La Esquina Salvadoreña Restaurant Bar says he has 18 workers who rely on the business.
He hopes he won't have to close, but says officials tell him he'll likely have to work with an engineer and an architect and get permits for repairs.
It's overwhelming, especially when he never expected a car to ram through his restaurant.
Police say how it happened is still under investigation.
According to the restaurant owner, no one was hurt.
