The driver was arrested for suspicion of DUI after a trip to the hospital and damage was fortunately minimal after a car crashed into the front of a Capitol Hill ice cream shop Wednesday morning.
Fortunately no pedestrians were injured in the just after 9:30 AM crash along busy E Pike at Boylston where the Toyota Corolla came to a rest against the building home to the Capitol Hill location of Salt and Straw.
Police closed E Pike in both directions during the response as Seattle Fire worked to get the driver out of the crashed car.
The driver was taken to Harborview for evaluation and then taken into custody by police for investigation of driving under the influence.
If this delays the opening of Taku I will be very angry
You’ve waited long enough :)

The Taku construction workers came out to help. The only damage was to the Salt and Straw part of the building.
With DUIs, do the police discern between alcohol and drugs (or both) in their reports?
There are different limits and penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs, so yea, they have to determine the substance.
There are only per se limits for weed and alcohol. Illegal drugs do not have per se levels.
