Watertown police are searching for the driver who crashed a red F250 pickup truck into Jana Grill, a local eatery at the intersection of Galen St. and Watertown St., earlier this week. The incident, caught on video, happened at 2:20 a.m. and caused serious damage to the restaurant's structure.
The department has asked the community for help in locating the reckless motorist. Any information regarding the driver or the whereabouts of the vehicle—a red F250 truck—would be crucial for the ongoing investigation. Watertown PD has requested that tips be directed to their business line at 617-972-6500 or through their Facebook page. Alternatively, those wishing to remain anonymous can submit information via the department's website. A link to the footage of the incident was shared on the Watertown Police Department's Facebook, providing potential witnesses with a visual aid to jog their memory.
As it stands, no injuries have been reported in connection with the crash, a stroke of luck considering the potential for harm given the size and force of the vehicle. Local residents and business owners are reeling from the sudden act of destruction, which disrupted the tranquility of the neighborhood. The full extent of the damage to the Jana Grill is still being assessed, but the impact of the crash has been felt community-wide.
