BLOOMINGTON - Six-year-old Brady Smith was sad. The tackle box he got for a birthday present two months earlier was no more Monday.

A car crashed through a restaurant's wooden fence and into his family's chain-link fence just behind it. The car and the fences were pushed into the back of the Smith family garage in southeast Bloomington Monday. Most of the back wall was destroyed.

Bloomington police talked to the driver, Michael J. O'Rourke, 58, of Inglewood Lane, on Monday evening. O'Rourke, a Bloomington attorney, told police he pulled into the restaurant parking lot and his vehicle accelerated forward for unknown reasons, a Bloomington police report said late Monday. O'Rourke was charged with leaving the scene of a property damage accident, police said.

The crash also bent a metal pole to the ground on the north side of the Ozark House restaurant parking lot in the back. The car was stuck in debris and a wrecker crew was able to get the car out Monday evening.

A neighbor heard a loud noise about 3:30 p.m., said Mitch Smith, Brady's father. His wife, Jennie, found the damage at their home at 1413 Cloud Street when she arrived home after 5 p.m., Smith said.

Smith was on the phone with his State Farm Insurance Cos. agent as the wrecker crew worked. He said to Brady, "Jim Spachman's going to get you a bigger and better tacklebox."

"Woo hoo, Woo hoo," cried the little boy as he ran in circles.
