WALPOLE, Mass. — Authorities are asking the public to avoid the area after a car slammed into the side of a Starbucks on Wednesday night.
Just before 8:30 p.m., emergency crews responded to a report of a multi-vehicle crash in the area of High Plain Street and Route 1, according to Walpole Police.
Arriving officers found one vehicle had crashed through the fence of a Starbucks and struck the building. One Starbucks employee, who was inside the shop at the time of the crash, was hospitalized with minor injuries.
