A red MINI Cooper drove right through the front window of Billy Corgan’s tea shop, Madame Zuzu’s, on Wednesday (October 30). Corgan’s wife Chloe shared the frightening details of the incident on Instagram, revealing that the couple’s son Augustus avoided injury during the accident, but disclosed that her mother, Jenny, was wounded in the crash. “This afternoon, a car (in circumstances which remain under investigation) drove over the curb and into Madam Zuzu’s, crashing through the window and sadly injuring one person – my mother, Jenny; who was spending the day and lunching with my son Augustus,” wrote Chloe. “Thankfully, he was able to leap out of the way and was not injured. Our family is grateful for the swift assistance of the Highland Park and Deerfield first responders.” Following the incident, Madame Zuzu’s is closed until further notice, with Chloe promising to “provide updates as we move forward.” (Consequence of Sound)
