Middle Tenn. Blvd, 37130 – A Toyota Rav4 L drove into the Middle Tennessee Blvd. Smoothie King‘s front side, around 11:00 am, Friday morning, Sept. 19, making a car sized, drove-thru on the other sides of Smoothie King’s walls that already had a drive-thru and front windows.

“No one was injured,” responded last MPD officer left on the scene.

After a cumbersomely packed, bouncy and bustling, single lot shared by five stores (Smokes for less Smoke shop not-a-gas-station at 2840, the Middle Tennessee Super Market mercado at 2820, Brasas at 2830, the old Cup Pop Korean BBQ at 2832, and the University liquor store, 2834), along with foot traffic from [Condos at] The Villager apartment complex, located north/next door at 2850 Md. Tenn. Blvd. -and with an awkward, concrete curb down the middle of it all- the responding ambulance and firetruck positioned in the lot vacated, leaving MPD officer to seemingly deal with scene.

F&P: Ma’am, these guys are still open?

Woman: I don’t think so. Not right now.

F&P: All right. I was checking as I saw somepeople [still behind the counter inside]. And this just happened?

Ma’am: Yes.

F&P: All right. I’ll check with [other] Smoothie King[s in the area] in a little bit. Have a good one.

F&P to MPD: Sir… stupid question. Do you think these guys are gonna be open for -anymore today?

Officer: I can’t say. I know they’ve refunded several of the people who did preorders, so I don’t think -as of right now, I don’t think so.

F&P, pointing at the Rav beside us: And it was just a car in the parking lot that went in?

Officer: Yeah. No one was injured.

F&P: I appreciate it. Thank you.

Afterwards, the officer getting into the employees (audio), “Okay, so the Smoothie King drive thru -literally- with [MPD officer] […] [who] just entered through the window…. Wait, no… He went through the door.” –F&P, on the officer walking into the store.
