  • Monday, January 18, 2021

Police responded to a crash at McDonalds, 6220 Lee Hwy. A woman driving a white SUV said she was waiting to enter the drive-thru line at McDonald's. She said that a Mercury vehicle attempted to pull in front of her in the line and then she pulled forward. The woman said that once she pulled forward, she made contact with the Mercury on the front passenger side. The driver of the Mercury said she was pulling into the McDonalds drive-through when the driver of the SUV tried forcing her way into the line, thus striking her vehicle.

The SUV had damage to the rear driver side of her vehicle and the Mercury had damage to the front passenger side of her vehicle. The driver of the SUV said she had shoulder pain and was transported to Erlanger East via Medic 15. Both vehicles were drivable and no citations were issued. A witness said that the Mercury sedan hit the white SUV. 

The driver of the Mercury said she was standing outside of her vehicle trying to take a picture of the SUV when the driver of the SUV struck the phone out of her hand. The woman said that the SUV driver came towards a male passenger from the Mercury car, screaming at him. He said the woman scratched/struck his face and then he pushed her away. The woman said that the man punched her in the right shoulder. She said that she did scratch him and she also had a broken fingernail. The woman requested EMS transport her for the shoulder pain. She said that she did not wish to prosecute in this matter. The man and woman in the Mercury also said that they did not wish to prosecute in this matter. The witness said that he saw the SUV driver get out of her car and walk towards the Mercury. He said that it looked like she was trying to get a claim out of this accident. The witness said he believed that she did this on purpose.

Officers reviewed CCTV from McDonald's and it only showed the SUV driver getting out of her car and walking towards the Mercury. Multiple people are then viewed, but officers were unable to depict who or what is going on. The manager said that he will try to get the video onto a disk and will call back once it has been done.
