A Jeep crashed through the front glass of a Deerfield Beach restaurant on Wednesday morning, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office. First responders were called to the commercial building at 1101 South Powerline Road around 9:30 a.m.
When units arrived, they found the Jeep had gone completely inside Tucker Duke’s Lunchbox. Owner John Cortez said he got a phone call asking him to come to the store because of an accident. He said he found a Jeep Wrangler in his dining room.
Cortez said the restaurant was not yet open and no one was inside. No injuries were reported.
Fire rescue personnel assessed the scene and said the damage appeared limited to the glass storefront, with no structural damage reported initially. The Deerfield Beach Building Department was also asked to evaluate the property.
The circumstances of the crash remain under investigation.
