An 80-year-old Skokie man was uninjured after crashing his SUV through the front window of a Niles seafood store.
NILES, IL – An elderly man driving an SUV crashed through the front window of a seafood deli in a Niles strip mall Wednesday afternoon before leaving his vehicle and walking next door for a haircut.
No customers were present when the SUV jumped the concrete parking barrier and careened through the large glass window at 8874 Milwaukee Ave. It came to a stop a few feet short of the deli counter where people usually line up to place orders, said Bryce Artmann, owner of Captain Alex Seafood.
