After last Friday’s awning accident, A&W restaurant in Big Rapids re-opened earlier this week.
According to owner Mike Page, the location is currently opened at three-quarter capacity and has heard positive feedback from the community.
He also said they are hoping to open back to full capacity soon but can’t guarantee a date at this time.
The accident occurred around after 2:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon, where a box truck went to leave the restaurant and misjudged the height of the awning. The truck struck the awning, causing it to collapse on a mid-size SUV. The awning was lifted by a local towing company, leaving minor damage to the vehicle.
According to Big Rapids DPS Officer Bill Sell, there were no injuries reported at the scene of the incident.
