The shocking incident of a woman repeatedly ramming her car into a California taco restaurant has left the community in Canoga Park in disbelief. The chaos unfolded around 7:30 p.m. on a Friday evening at Tacos Reyes, as bystanders watched in horror and began filming the destructive scene. The woman, who was later identified as a former employee of the restaurant, was seen backing her car into the establishment multiple times, causing significant damage.
As police officers arrived on the scene, they witnessed the suspect continuing to ram her vehicle into the restaurant. They quickly surrounded her car and used non-lethal rounds before apprehending her. Despite their efforts, the suspect had already caused extensive destruction inside the restaurant before being taken into custody. She was later hospitalized with minor injuries and charged with felony vandalism. Fortunately, no other injuries were reported during the incident.
An employee from a neighboring bar recalled the terrifying moment when she had to evacuate customers and co-workers as the suspect targeted the shared wall between the two establishments. The owner’s daughter, Antonia Reyes, revealed that the woman had not worked at Tacos Reyes for four years and had left on good terms. Despite the devastation caused by the former employee, the Reyes family expressed sympathy for her and emphasized their love for her family.
The owner of Tacos Reyes, Miguel Reyes, expressed relief that no one inside the restaurant was harmed during the ordeal. He acknowledged the former employee’s connection to the restaurant and confirmed that the family business would remain closed for the foreseeable future. The community rallied around the Reyes family, offering support and understanding during this difficult time.
The motive behind the woman’s destructive actions remains unclear, and the incident is currently under investigation by the authorities. The shocking event serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of human behavior and the importance of maintaining a sense of community and compassion in the face of adversity. As the Reyes family navigates the aftermath of this incident, they are grateful for the outpouring of support from their loyal customers and the community at large.
