SUV Crashes Into Seattle Pizzeria, Injuring Three, Causing Major Damage

On July 4, a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV ran a red light and crashed into the Mioposto restaurant in Ravenna, Seattle, causing extensive damage and injuring at least three diners with non-life-threatening wounds. The incident occurred while the restaurant was full, and the building was deemed unsafe due to gasoline leaking from the vehicle. The restaurant staff acted heroically, quickly evacuating guests through the back door and assisting those injured. Police confirmed the driver was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and will face citations and potential civil penalties. Mioposto’s Ravenna location remains closed as the damage is assessed, though other locations in the Seattle area continue to operate. The community has shown support for the traumatized staff, and the restaurant is committed to securing jobs and supporting its team throughout the closure.
