Vehicle Punches Hole into Cinder Block Wall in Dunkin' Donuts' Parking Lot

Details are scant on why there is a hole in the cinder block wall of parking lot on Woodward Avenue.
Ferndale's Department of Public Works Director Byron Photiades said a vehicle had driven through the barrier that divides the alley and Dunkin' Donuts' northern parking lot "a few days ago."
