Car crashes into Washington County Dairy Queen

A car crashed into a Washington County Dairy Queen around 4 p.m. Monday, Trib news partner WPXI reported.

WPXI said cakemaker Joyce Caldwell was inside the stock room of the East Wylie Avenue ice cream shop when the SUV slammed through the stock room’s brick wall.

First responders helped the woman driving the SUV out of the car. She had only minor injuries and did not want to go to the hospital.

The $10.8 million project widened the structure to seven lanes.

“Be prepared for new traffic patterns, signage and traffic signals,” Bridgeville police wrote in a social media post.

There are now two dedicated lanes going into Bridgeville.
