TYLER – A driver and two Taco Bell workers were hospitalized on Sunday after a car crashed into the Taco Bell on West Gentry Parkway in Tyler. The Tyler Police Department reported that traffic at West Gentry Parkway between MLK Boulevard and Van Highway was being rerouted at around 10:30 a.m. on Sunday because of a major crash.
Officials with Tyler PD told our news partner KETK that a woman was leaving church on Van Highway when she had a medical issue causing her to lose control of the vehicle and cross W Gentry Parkway before crashing into the Taco Bell’s drive-thru window.
