An incident at a Taco Bell in Waldorf, Maryland, is under investigation after a driver plowed into a group of people standing in the parking lot. It happened at 10:23 p.m. on March 31, 2021 at the restaurant on Smallwood Drive. After ramming several people with a car, the driver then crashed through the front door and windows of the fast-food establishment before backing up and fleeing. A video of the violent altercation was first published on April Fools' Day. However, it was not a prank: Before the incident began in the video, several people could be heard yelling at the driver. After the car backed up, the driver accelerated. At least two people were shown as being rammed into the air. The car then plowed through the front of the restaurant, breaking the glass on the door and windows. This was where the video ended. A lengthier video also showed the moments leading up to the violent incident: A clearer, daytime view of the front of the Taco Bell in Waldorf can be viewed on Google Maps, thanks to a 360-degree photograph from Anthony Henson. WTOP reported that the incident appeared to start at the restaurant's drive-thru window. The Charles County Sheriff's Office released a statement. It detailed that, while the car in question was at the drive-thru window, someone got out of the car and assaulted an employee at the window. The incident then spilled over into the parking lot, which was the portion seen in the video: The statement also noted that a cash reward was being offered for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the suspects. In sum, it's true that a car plowed into a crowd of people at a Taco Bell in Waldorf, Maryland. The incident is under investigation by local authorities.
