Moab will be out of a liquor store for several days after van crashes into the state-owned outlet

The state-owned liquor store in Moab will be closed for several days after a van crashed into the front of it.

No one was hurt in the Monday accident, including the driver and store employees, said Terry Wood, spokesman for the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

The same cannot be said for the building, 55 W. 200 South, Wood said. “The front of the building is a mess."

The crash occurred about 11:35 a.m., Wood said. “The driver said he may have forgotten to put the vehicle in park.”

The Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management, along with a consulting engineer, inspected the store Tuesday and determined the building is structurally sound and repairs can proceed.
