A driver crashed into a Subway restaurant in Tulsa on Saturday, June 20, leaving significant damage at the shop and at Kremee Taiyaki & Ice Cream nearby. No one was injured, but the impact was serious enough to force the ice cream business to close while the building is inspected and repaired.
The crash near 61st and Memorial is the reason people are looking for news on 6 today: it shut down one business and disrupted another in a busy commercial area. Kremee Taiyaki & Ice Cream said the impact broke open one of its walls and damaged part of the ceiling structure, turning what could have been a routine repair into a safety issue that has to be checked before customers can return.
That matters because the closure is temporary, but there is no set reopening date yet. Kremee Taiyaki & Ice Cream said it is working with the property owner, contractors, and insurance representatives to assess the damage and decide when it will be safe to reopen. For now, the business is closed out of an abundance of caution, even as it tries to limit the disruption to a place that was hit by a crash it did not cause.
The contrast is plain. No customers, employees, or bystanders were hurt, and the most urgent damage is to the building itself. Kremee Taiyaki & Ice Cream said it was grateful no one was injured and thanked the community for its patience and support, but the shop will stay shut until inspections show the structure can safely handle normal business again.
What happens next depends on the repairs, not the calendar. The restaurant at the center of the crash and the neighboring shop near 61st and Memorial have already absorbed the hit; reopening will wait until the building passes inspection and the damage is fixed.
