Man drives hole in Kennewick building, then flees

A car tore through the front of a Kennewick business overnight Wednesday.

Witnesses saw the BMW sedan driving west at 50 to 60 mph on Kennewick Avenue before it veered off the road and through the front of A-Z Auto Repair shortly after midnight, said Kennewick police Sgt. Aaron Clem.

A teenager wearing a leather jacket and beanie walked away from the vehicle and was picked up by three friends in another car, Clem said.

The building’s owner heard the collision, but when he went to investigate, the teen was gone.

Anyone with information about who was behind the wheel can call Kennewick police at 509-628-0333 or Tri-Cities Crime Stoppers at 509-586-8477.
