The Salt Lake City Fire Department says crews responded after the RV and a pickup truck collided, propelling the RV into the drive-thru side of the Starbucks.
Firefighters extricated one person from the RV and transported them to the hospital with significant but non-life threatening injuries. A second person in the RV and one person in the truck had minor injuries. No one inside the building was hurt.
The police department tweeted out that the traffic lights were out in all directions at that intersection, and drivers could expect congestion in the area for some time.
