At approximately 7:07 p.m. on Tuesday December 13th, 12 Fillmore Fire units responded to a vehicle collision at Starbucks in Fillmore at the corner of A street and Highway 126. A Chevrolet Tahoe had crashed through the east wall of the business, near the drive thru, pinning several people against tables and walls. Eye witnesses said the vehicle was traveling about 50 miles per hour when it struck the building’s exterior wall. The driver identified himself as a Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department deputy. He stated he had fallen asleep and veered from the westbound lanes of Highway 126 (Old Telegraph Road) across the eastbound lanes, over the sidewalk, across the parking lot for approximately 100 yards, between two large palm trees before crashing through Starbucks east wall. The vehicle traveled completely through the front lounge coming to rest against the front door and corner. One unidentified man who was sitting in a large brown chair on the east wall of the building near the point of impact was pinned against the front door on the opposite side of the dining area. His injuries were reported to be critical. Two other patrons were seriously injured when they were pinned against the south wall of the dining area. All three persons were extracted by the Fillmore Fire Department and transported a local hospital, according to Fire Chief Rigo Landeros. We will have an update as more information becomes available.
