Drive-thru or takeaway?
That must have been the question in one motorist’s mind after his car plowed into Henny Penny in Wallsend late on Monday 20 January.
Unfortunately, the incident came at a cost, with the storefront suffering extensive damage.
Staff claim a man accidentally reversed his vehicle into the front of the popular chicken shop while attempting to park.
Witnesses reported the driver briefly exited the car to inspect the damage before fleeing from the scene.
Employees believe the man was intoxicated at the time of the incident.
Henny Penny management confirmed the business was currently awaiting CCTV footage to gather more details on the crash.
No injuries were reported.
But, the store remains open for takeaway orders while repairs are ongoing.
