A car is engulfed in flames after crashing into Seniore's pizza place on El Camino Real in San Bruno Monday.
An unlicensed juvenile was arrested after sparking a two-alarm fire by crashing a Mercedes Benz into Seniore’s pizza parlor in San Bruno while attempting to evade police Monday morning.
The unnamed girl crashed into the building on the 900 block of El Camino Real sometime before 10:30 a.m. and damaged the gas meter, according to authorities.
The girl was first spotted driving recklessly and running stop signs near San Anselmo and Santa Inez avenues when police attempted to pull her over before she crashed into the building, San Bruno police Lt. Troy Fry said.
Luckily, no one was injured as the vehicle and building were engulfed in flames, Fry said.
Seniore’s employee Hassan Yasin was on his way to work to open the store when he heard about the fire.
“I’m usually the first one there,” said Yasin, who has worked at the pizza parlor for four years. “God was on our side.”
No one was in the store at the time of the collision, or subsequent fire, said Yasin.
Mike Jaber, son of the owner of Seniore’s, expressed grief over finding the store had burned.
“It’s hard,” said Jaber. “I just woke up to this.”
Firefighters had not allowed Jaber into the pizza parlor when he spoke with the Daily Journal. He said his primary concern was ensuring that the receipts and material in the safe had survived the fire.
The fire was brought under control at about 12:15 p.m., San Mateo County fire dispatchers said,
Pacific Gas and Electric crews arrived on scene to address the gas leak caused by the crash, utility spokeswoman Brittany McKannay said.
Eddie Grauf, owner of European Car Service, which is located near the fire, said the flames at the pizza parlor were about 10 to 15 feet high.
He said his building had no electricity and that roads in the area were blocked off as a result of the incident.
Jeff Teson said he was nearby when he heard the sirens, and ran over to take pictures of the fire.
“I thought ‘Oh my God, Seniore’s Pizza is on fire,’” he said. “That’s one of my favorite places. I go there all the time.”
Sam Tutoe said he was at his sister-in-law’s in the neighborhood when the car crashed into the business.
“It was terrible,” said Tutoe, a San Bruno resident.
County emergency officials said southbound El Camino Real reopened in the area as of shortly after 12:45 p.m.
Yasin said that he had already begun receiving text messages from concerned customers and friends.
“Everyone is expressing their condolences,” said Yasin.
Yasin said he is confident that the company will work to rebound from the loss.
“This is beyond a setback,” he said. “But I’m sure that we will come back stronger than ever.”
