A Coors Light semi-truck slammed into a Popeye’s Louisiana fast-food restaurant in Brooklyn, New York City on Wednesday evening, police said.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) confirmed with Fox News Digital that the crash happened at 7:20 p.m. on Wednesday evening in the New York City borough.

Police said that a preliminary report revealed that the Coors Light driver, a 60-year-old male, crashed into a 21-year-old male who was driving a white Subaru.

After the initial crash, the 18-wheel tractor trailer collided with the side of the fried-chicken hot spot.
