A police chase ended early Tuesday with a young motorist crashing through the wall of an Athens restaurant.

A juvenile girl is in custody after Athens-Clarke County police said she crashed a stolen car into the Chick-fil-A on Alps Road as she attempted to elude an officer.

The wreck occurred at about 4 a.m., noted police. Earlier an officer spotted the vehicle driving erratically on Broad Street near downtown Athens. He then received a dispatch that the car was stolen.

A chase ensued that turned onto Newton Street and then Baxter Street. As the vehicles approached Alps Road, the young driver avoided stop sticks deployed by another officer, but she lost control and went across Alps and slammed into the restaurant, according to the report.

The driver and a juvenile male passenger appeared uninjured and refused medical treatment, police said.

A police spokesman said he wasn't immediately able to get ages on the pair, nor did he know details about the stolen car. The girl was transported to a youth detention center and the boy was released to a parent.

"I think (she) must've blew a tire and went airborne. You can see where (her) wheel cut this into the pavement," Chick-fil-A owner Shane Todd said Tuesday as he pointed to an about inch-deep, 3-yard long groove in the restaurant's parking lot.

Todd also pointed to two utility poles, another pole holding up a traffic signal and two trees clustered at the entrance of the Colonial Promenade Beechwood shopping center. He suspects the motorist missed all of them to ram into his restaurant.

"And no one was seriously hurt," he said.

Chick-fil-A's drive-thru will continue to operate as repairs to the restaurant's structure get underway, Todd said. He expects to start serving customers again inside the restaurant by week's end.
