Car Crashes Into Auburn Pizza Shop | Portland Maine News

At 3 AM on Labor Day, a speeding car slammed into Heathco’s Pizza & Variety in Auburn, punching a massive hole through the wall and leaving the driver—21-year-old from Lewiston—with serious injuries. The wreck, possibly involving alcohol, destroyed priceless equipment including a $100K pizza oven and could cost hundreds of thousands to repair. This isn’t the first crash at the spot: two prior incidents, including a drunk-driving crash last February, make this the worst yet. Though the restaurant is closed, cleanup crews—including local junk removal help—have cleared debris, and management hopes to reopen in weeks with community support. Authorities are still investigating but expect charges soon as the business braces for recovery. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
