Augustino Ruiz apparently had a hankering for some Hooters that went unfulfilled.
The 46-year-old Chicago man caused a rollover accident last week in suburban Park Ridge after he "decided he wanted to go to Hooters and decided to make a U-turn" across three lanes of traffic, police commander Lou Jogmen told the Sun-Times.
The Jeep that Ruiz reportedly hit on West Higgens flipped over and landed on its roof near the restaurant. The driver was not seriously injured.
Ruiz has been charged with driving on a suspended license.
No word on whether or not it was the wings he was craving.
