An apparently out-of-control Escalade smashed through the front doors of Crystal Lotus about 5:30 a.m today, creating a Sigalert for northbound Coast Highway that ended just minutes ago.
The crash appeared to be an accident, but police did not immediately provide details. Afterward, the driver apparently tried to back the car out of the front door, witnesses told Corona del Mar Today.
The Sigalert closed East Coast Highway to northbound traffic between Marguerite and Jasmine avenues. The lanes reopened at 7 a.m.
Witnesses said they saw the man driving on Marguerite Avenue prior to the crash, taking out some other signs and hitting a tree. A city parking sign was on the sidewalk about 100 yards away on the sidewalk. A lot of residents heard the crash, but didn’t see anything until they went to investigate and saw the car stuck in the damaged building and police cars filling the streets.
Crystal Lotus opened in April, with signs in the window advertising soulmate and past life readings. The owners have declined several interview requests.
