Oak Brook, IL – A vehicle crashed into the glass front of a popular breakfast restaurant Tuesday morning in Oak Brook, sending emergency crews to the scene and leaving minor injuries reported.
According to the Oak Brook Fire Department, crews responded at 10:09 a.m. Tuesday to a reported car-versus-building crash in the 2000 block of York Road involving the Egg Harbor Cafe. First arriving units reached the scene within minutes and found a four-door sedan that had driven into the restaurant’s glass window area.
Fire officials said the vehicle struck the café’s window facing the outdoor dining section. Initial assessments indicated there were no obvious signs of structural damage to the building despite the shattered glass and debris scattered through the patio dining area.
Emergency medical crews evaluated four people at the scene for potential injuries following the crash. Authorities said two patients were transported to Elmhurst Hospital with minor, non-life-threatening injuries. Two additional individuals reported they were uninjured and declined medical treatment, signing refusal forms with paramedics.
Firefighters also confirmed no one was trapped inside the vehicle or building, allowing crews to quickly shift focus toward patient assessment and securing the scene.
The final Oak Brook Fire Department unit cleared the location at 11:01 a.m., roughly 50 minutes after the initial dispatch. The property was then turned over to restaurant management to begin clean-up, repairs, and preparations to resume operations.
The Oak Brook Fire Department said crews were assisted at the scene by the Oakbrook Terrace Fire Department, Villa Park Fire Department, the Oak Brook Police Department, and the Village of Oak Brook Development Services Department.
Authorities have not released additional details about what led to the crash.
