Five people were reported injured, two of them critically, after a pickup truck drove into a McHenry Starbucks on Thursday evening, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. The crash occurred before 5 p.m. at 4305 W. Elm St., McHenry police said. The pickup truck's hazard lights were blinking as it jutted out of the gaping maw left in the building. McHenry Police Public Affairs officer Patrick Polidori said the full-sized pickup truck was traveling westbound on West Elm Street when it ran off the roadway for unknown reasons and struck the Starbucks building. The building sustained extensive damage and five people were injured, two of whom were taken from the scene with critical injuries, Polidori said.
