TRENDING: 

Daniel Schelhorn, one of the managing partners of Metro Diner told Colburn that the restaurant will be closed for the next three to four weeks.

Schellhorn also told Colburn that an off-duty Jacksonville Sheriff's officer swerved to miss a car that was crossing Hendricks Avenue.

According to Schellhorn, the off-duty officer lost control and crashed into the restuarant and the other car fled.

Schellhorn said he was made aware of incident after a call came into the Southside location restaurant around 7:45 p.m.

The diner decided about a month ago that it would close for dinner and was not open when the crash occurred.
