This McDonalds must be fairly new as it is well away from Downtown Quesnel and the heart of the action, but near the College of New Caledonia, assuring lots of potential customers.

It was a warm day so we stopped in at the Golden Arches for our $1 ice cream cones and $1 cokes. We managed to get in and out through the drive-thru leaving the building completely unscathed. Just under a month later though, the building wasn't quite as lucky, suffering a grazing blow from an inattentive patron. What happened? Read on.
Quesnel McDonald’s closed
for several hours after drive-thru
customer knocks over gas meter
No one was injured, and Fortis B.C. was able to turn the gas off and install a new meter

QUESNEL OBSERVER STAFF | Jul. 4, 2019
A gas meter was knocked over at the McDonald’s on North Star Road in Quesnel Wednesday morning (July 3), resulting in the restaurant being shut down for several hours.

According to Quesnel Fire Chief Sylvain Gauthier, a drive-thru customer knocked over the meter by accident.

“A lady, when she was going through the drive-thru, inadvertently turned her steering wheel towards the building, as she was a little bit too far to pay,” he says. “She forgot that her wheels were turned towards the building, so when she finished paying, she pushed on the fuel, and as soon as she did so, with the wheels turned towards the building, she went right into the gas meter.”

Fortunately for everyone involved, the main supply to the gas meter was a flex pipe, so the gas line itself wasn’t broken, and there was only a small leak.

Fortis B.C. responded to the call, turned the gas off and put a new gas meter in place, and the restaurant was able to open again in the late afternoon.

Fire, Police and Ambulance showed up as well, but thankfully no one was injured.
