About 4:00 this afternoon, an out-of-control SUV crashed through the front of iO West. Thankfully, no one was injured. Damage to the building was considerable, and the theater is closed tonight (Thursday June 26). You can read more about the accident at this link, and for updates check out the iO West website as well as this website!
Here is video from CBS2 at 6.
UPDATE: iO West will be closed through July 6 - so make sure you come by the theater for the next all-new Big News show on Sunday, July 13 at 9pm!!!
Here’s another view of the accident:
