Customers and staff at The Donut Parade were jolted by more than the coffee on Tuesday. At about noon, a driver of a 1993 red Honda Civic apparently fell asleep at the wheel before slamming into the front door of the beloved doughnut shop, 2152 N. Hamilton St., Spokane police Officer Aaron Childress said. “I just heard it and it felt like an earthquake,” said Donut Parade owner Christian Reno. The driver whose identity has not been released, was heading north on Hamilton Street near Illinois Avenue when witnesses say his car veered to the right and hit a crosswalk pole, which collapsed. A pedestrian was injured in the incident. His car then crashed into the front door of the Donut Parade, which had multiple staff and customers inside/Jonathan Glover, SR. More here (subscription).
