Columbus, OH : Narcan used on driver who crashed into NKY bar on Wednesday, February 22nd 2017
Fire crews said they used Narcan on a motorist who overdosed in his vehicle and crashed it into a Northern Kentucky sports bar late Wednesday.
Smitty's Cafe on Sixth Avenue in Dayton remains boarded up Thursday morning.
Crews responded to the business after receiving a report of a motorist who possibly overdosed on drugs crashed into it at 6:40 p.m., according to Campbell County dispatchers.
When they arrived, they found the male driver unconscious and administered Narcan in an attempt to revive him, said Captain Adam Hall with the Bellevue-Dayton Fire Department.
"He was still unconscious when paramedics took him to the hospital, Hall said.
The driver was treated and later released, according to the fire captain.
The man's name and age were not released.
Dayton police could not be reached for comment early Thursday, so it was not clear if the driver will be charged or cited.
Meanwhile, damage at the sports bar was set at $10,000, according to the fire department.
The impact from the crash took out a wall between two pillars and a window, Hall said.
Smitty's should reopen as soon as repairs are made, he said.
