BRAZIL – Around 10:30 a.m. Friday employees were working inside the Subway restaurant on East National Avenue in Brazil when they heard a loud crash.

Eric Bendzsa, age 54, of Carbon, Indiana, drove through the large front window of the building, breaking those windows and the side windows as well.

John Dickinson was the manager on duty at the restaurant when the crash occurred.

The scraping sound was workers sweeping up the broken glass inside the restaurant.

Bendzsa left the scene of the accident and was arrested a few blocks away when his vehicle quit running, said Police Chief Clint McQueen.

No one was injured in the accident and there was no immediate estimate of damage to the building.

Dickinson said the restaurant would open the next day, Saturday, at the usual time.

You can see a video report on the WAMB The Breeze Facebook page.

Mason Glass is repairing the windows. Jeremy Mason said it will take a month for the building to be repaired.

It was deja vu for Mason, whose own building on West National Avenue was damaged some months ago when a driver drove into the front of the Mason Glass building.
