An elderly man drove through the front door of an east Lincoln Valentino’s on Wednesday morning -- and then ordered a pizza.
The man drove his white Honda Fit, which had a Holt County license plate, through the front of the Valentino’s at 904 N. 70th St. a little after 11:30 a.m., said Lincoln Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Leo Benes.
“It sounded like a building was coming down,” said Mary Huff, who was working next door.
Crews treated the driver at Valentino’s and then took him to a local hospital, Benes said. Noone else was injured.
The driver was alert enough to order a pizza while he was trapped in his car, a good sign, Benes said, because it signaled that he was alert after the crash.

At least the old guy knew where to stop for takeout.
Well, generally where to stop, but not EXACTLY where to stop!
the sign said “drive through window”, so he did.
“No anchovies, please.”
End car violence! We know who has ‘em and where they are. This cannot go on in the 21st century!
No Problem. $100K cash upfront.

I dunno - if the delivery guy has to use the Jaws Of Life, I’d say you probably better tip him.
Or really, really hungry.

The old guy did a good job of getting that car in there. The Honda fit.

Did the Honda fit?
Did they tell him they don’t have drive-in service?
They paid for his pizza?
