A sedan crashed into The Original Pantry Saturday causing one more bump in the road to reopening the iconic restaurant.

The crash was reported at 3:04 a.m. Saturday at 877 S. Figueroa St., a desk officer at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Operations Center told City News Service.

Video from the scene showed what appeared to be a second vehicle involved in the crash that sent the sedan into a brick wall underneath a window.

Another shot showed a rectangular section of brick pushed into the restaurant.

The Pantry closed in March after 101 years in business, most of it 24 hours-a-day for seven days per week.

Real estate developer Leo Pustilnikov purchased the restaurant from the Richard J. Riordan family trust and announced this month he wants to reopen on New Year’s Eve.
