TULSA, Okla. — A driver drove through a south Tulsa sandwich shop chain, damaging both it and a neighboring ice cream shop on Sunday afternoon.

According to Kremee Taiyaki & Ice Cream, on Saturday a car crashed into a Subway near 61st Street and Memorial Drive causing damage to both establishments.

In a public post shared onto social media, the Kremee team said no customers, employees, or bystanders were injured.

The damage to the ice cream shop caused one of the walls to break open and damaged parts of the ceiling structure.

The shop will be temporarily closed as they work to repair the damage.

“First and most importantly, we are incredibly grateful that no customers, employees, or bystanders were injured. The safety and well-being of our community will always be our top priority, and we are thankful that everyone is safe,” said the Kremee Team in their statement. “…Out of an abundance of caution, we will be temporarily closed while the building is inspected and the necessary repairs are made. We know this may be disappointing, and we sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and support during this unexpected situation.”
