On Wednesday, a popular Downtown deli was almost smashed into, but a bike rack may have saved the day.

A car plowed through the outdoor, grass-roofed bike rack around 6pm near Broad St. and Third. According to The Citizen App, a pedestrian was struck in the process, but 614Now could not find any reported injuries.
