A wall in the drive-through of the Lowest Greenville Starbucks came down over the weekend because of high winds.

Pieces of the decorative wall on the right side of the drive-through appeared to have fallen on top of a silver Honda in a video posted on Sunday, March 15 on the Instagram account @dallastexas_tv. This Starbucks opened a few years ago in the old Taco Cabana spot.

“On Sunday, a strong gust of wind caused a wall bordering the drive-thru at one of our coffeehouses to collapse, damaging a customer vehicle and the drive-through window,” a Starbucks spokesperson said in an email to the Lakewood/East Dallas Advocate. “Thankfully, no partners (employees) or customers were injured. We are grateful no one was hurt and are reviewing the incident, as safety remains our top priority.”

The spokesperson did not answer questions about what will be done to repair the customer’s car and the drive-through window. This story may be updated if we receive more information.
