Hit and Run driver sought

A vehicle smashed into Keepers Restaurant shortly after 11 p.m., Monday, Sept. 3. No one was inside when it happened.

DAVIDSON—The search is on for a four-door sedan that crashed into Keepers Restaurant in Davidson late last Monday night and then drove off.

The car caused extensive damage to the building, when, at 11 p.m., Sept. 3, it smashed through a plate-glass window and destroyed some of the structure around it.

“It looked like he was going to slow down and then he accelerated into the building. The driver backed out, almost immediately and took off,” Marcia Palmer said.

Palmer works at the Shell and had seen the footage captured by the business’s security cameras.

The footage shows a four-door sedan drive in from the north end of the parking lot and then go towards the building as if to park, except it doesn’t stop. After crashing through the window, the driver puts the car in reverse, backs out and drives away.

Palmer said they were able to see the license plate but couldn’t make out the number.

The video was shared on social media by a Shell employee. A comment with the posting states, “We think it’s maybe a 2011 silver Chevy Impala.”
