Hit-and-run crash at Taco Bell in Goshen sends two people to hospital

Three people were taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries after a hit-and-run crash at a Taco Bell in Goshen on Tuesday night, July 21.

A 52-year-old Goshen woman was inside the Taco Bell at 701 W. Pike St. and a 17-year-old boy was standing outside of the restaurant when a passenger car crashed into the restaurant at about 7 p.m., according to a news release from the Goshen Police Department.

The 10-year-old daughter of the Goshen woman sustained minor cuts when the window glass shattered in the crash, according to an update from the Goshen Police Department issued at 1:40 p.m. Wednesday. She was not treated by medics or at a hospital for her injuries.
