COVENTRY TOWNSHIP -- An Akron man is facing charges after authorities say he drove his SUV into multiple cars before crashing into a Dunkin Donuts store.
It happened Saturday morning at the Dunkin Donuts location on Manchester Road. According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office, 70-year-old William Lavery was in the drive-thru lane when he put his 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe in reverse and struck another vehicle, causing it to strike a third. Lavery drove his SUV forward into a fourth vehicle, which struck a fifth.
Lavery's SUV side-swiped another vehicle before he crashed into the front of the store, striking a pedestrian inside.
Authorities say three victims were treated and released from Akron General Medical Center with injuries. Lavery was treated for injuries at Summa Health in Barberton.
Lavery is charged with driving under the influence, driving under suspension, failure to maintain control and negligent assault.
