A car crashed into Ireland’s Four Courts pub in Arlington at around 6:45 p.m. Friday, injuring 14 people, eight of whom were hospitalized.
The crash occurred when a vehicle “came down N. Courthouse Road and went into the building going very quick,” Ireland’s Four Courts general manager Dave Cahill told ARLnow.
The car went about 20 feet into the building before catching fire. It would ultimately require a two-alarm response from the Arlington Fire Department to quench the blaze.
The crash occurred during dinnertime, and the building was evacuated after the crash occurred and the fire started.
