A Bristol restaurant that has been damaged twice in two years when vehicles crashed into it has reopened and the owner continues to rebuild.
In August, a truck crashed into Jimmy's on the River on Terryville Road as guests were dining inside. Fortunately, everyone was able to make it out safely.
The owner, Jimmy Driscoll, was eager to welcome back customers this week and some of his regulars helped clean up debris and others donated funds to help employees while they were without a job.
Just before the crash, the restaurant had just finished remodeling after another crash in 2022.

That crash happened on the other side of the building and caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs.
“We’re on the road to rebuild and can’t wait for the restaurant to be repaired. Until then, we look forward to serving our community again,” the restaurant's Facebook post from earlier this week says.
Driscoll is now focusing on the final touches, including a new window and siding.
