Original Report by Bob on the Scanner
Just a little while ago (Thursday, just before 5p), a Jeep crashed into the front windows of a laundromat on the Westside.
This is the Wash and Fun in the 1300 block of San Andres in Santa Barbara, intersection of Sola Street.
No injuries reported, but quite a mess.

Brings new meaning to wash and FUN!
