Car Crashes into Gardner MA Burger King
On the afternoon of March 13, 2026, the Gardner Fire Department received a call that a car had crashed into the Gardner Burger King on Timpany Boulevard.
The Gardner Fire Department released this statement: “This afternoon, Gardner Fire Group 3 responded to Burger King for a reported car into the building. On arrival, crews found a single vehicle had crashed into the building, luckily with no injuries to the driver or anyone inside the restaurant. The building sustained moderate damage. The building Commissioner and Board Of Health also responded to the scene. Gardner Police are investigating the accident.”
While there were no injuries to the driver or anyone in the restaurant, the building sustained substantial damage. (see photo collage) Fortunately, the area involved was not the main seating area and did not affect the kitchen or cooking areas. Gardner Magazine spoke with Burger King management who told us that they had to close for a short while after the incident, but expect to be open later today March 13th or at the very latest on March 14th. Management agreed to call us if there is further information, but it looks like your Saturday Whopper is still on the menu.
