Selina Bradford, 31, was preparing her weekly order and just hitting stride for her double shift Monday, April 13, when a woman came through the store.
The trouble is the woman was driving, and Main Street Pizza at 307 N. Shiawassee St. in Corunna is not a drive-through.
The woman crashed through the storefront in her white Chevy Impala around 12:30 p.m. and continued into the store until her car was stopped by the bathroom wall, Bradford said.
"The instant it hit, I stepped forward and saw her hit the wall," Bradford said, adding that she was in disbelief when it happened. "I instantly called 911."
Police could not be immediately contacted for comment.
Main Street Pizza had just opened the new location two and a half weeks ago, Bradford said.
After firefighters removed the car, employees cleaned up the store and then proceeded to do the obvious: make more pizza.
After just a few hours of being closed, the store reopened around 5 p.m. the same day, with the front half of the store boarded up.
"It was definitely a crazy way to start a long day," Bradford said.
That is one of life’s good things — sitting at a cocktail table style Frogger game (or maybe Galaga) at a pizza joint with a slice of pizza and a Coke right by the screen.
This same thing happened at a little Chinese restaurant in a strip mall near where I work. Someone hit the wrong pedal and went right through the front door. The owners boarded it up and hung signs saying “Still Open! Order By Phone and Drive Around Back to Pick Up!” They set up a little drive thru in the back - clever.
I see your problem right there

Was the station closed? Were the lines busy? Were all the cops at lunch at the same time? Or at the donut shop?
Perhaps they were immediately contacted but could not comment?
And that ain't a bathroom wall that stopped the 'white' car. It's a Coke machine. If that's where the bathroom is then that is quite the unsanitary layout for a pizza joint.
That was just *terrible* of you.
