Thanks to all who sent in photos of this crazy crash at the Adams Morgan McDonalds at 18th and Columbia Rd, NW. @jessica_travels tweeted at 2:45pm:
“@popville Just saw a car drive into the McDonalds in Adams Morgan: http://ow.ly/i/1dAef – I took the pic from the bus.”
Updates as they become available.
From the PoP Facebook page Justine sends:
McRib must be back.
You are on fire today cornholiodc
Probably some trying to take out a drug dealer
really
Details just came in, it was the HamBurglar trying to commit a robble robbery. Showing my age on this post…
What do you mean there’s no drive-thru lane?
there is now
Too soon for a “drive-thru” joke?
Maryland plates?
+1000
Yes.
Do we know there is not a body trapped under the car before we start making jokes?
Exactly. Has anyone heard from Ronald?
Pretty sure it would have been mentioned.
Lighten up.
CityPaper has a photo of a guy being taken out on a stretcher.
Too many McDoubles.
This is all so tasteless it is making me Grimace.
You deserve a break today. I won’t post any more comments.
Don’t you mean a brake?
Old McDs slogan
oh no, where will all the crackheads hang out now…
Hamburglar’s getting desperate and resorting to smash and grabs!
That car has Maryland tags.
Has anyone Marion Barry yet? He needs to start planning a shelter to keep the drug dealers and thugs warm while McDonalds rebuilds over the winter.
try again #worstjokeever
God Damn ‘maps app’ on the iphone 5 is complete shit. I meant to drive the car through McNasty’s
Hee!
Was in the same bus and saw that mailman running out of the way. Sounded horrible…
or….. McDonald’s monopoly is back. He landed on Park Place
They’re saying it may have been a medical emergency that caused him to crash, possibly a Big Mac attack.
Updates from the DC papers:
“The driver, an adult male, and an adult female inside the McDonald’s suffered minor injuries from the crash, according to D.C. police spokesman Hugh Carew. The cause is still being investigated, he said.”

“Firefighters had to rescue one customer caught in the rubble of the restaurant after the accident occurred. That customer and the driver were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries according to police.”

The comments for this post are so WIN!!! =D
No drive thru at this McDonalds??? I will show your ass!!!!!!!!
RIP to the 15 panhandlers that were no doubt mowed down in the fray.
Was probably texting or something. Scary to think that there’s people like that out there on the road.
nope.
Looks like the work of hamburglar.Any leads?
Morgan Spurlock is really running out of ideas…
Clearly not 1 Billion swerved
I hope this guy recovers quickly and gets his car fixed soon. There’s a McDonald’s at the corner of 14th and U in dire need of the same treatment.
Hmmmmm, Texting while driving like every other car in DC ??
