Car chase ends with driver crashing into Cajun Claws in Abbeville

On Sunday night, a high-speed car chase on Charity Street in Abbeville ended with a car crashing into the Cajun Claws Restaurant.
Abbeville Chief of Police Mike Hardy reported that Kevin Collins from Carencro was allegedly caught shoplifting at the Wal-Mart in Abbeville. After being spotted, Collins fled the store, prompting a high-speed pursuit by the police down Charity Street. It is estimated that speeds of more than 90 miles per hour were reached during the chase.
Collins eventually lost control of his vehicle, crashing into the bar area of Cajun Claws Restaurant on Charity Street.
The car crashed through the front of the restaurant and came to a stop in the dining area. The restaurant was closed at that time and was scheduled to reopen the following weekend. Collins was taken by Acadian Ambulance to Abbeville General Hospital due to a knee injury he allegedly sustained. After being released from the hospital, he was arrested and booked into the parish jail on multiple charges.
During the booking, the Abbeville Police learned Collins was wanted on an attempted murder charge in Iberia Parish.
Cajun Claws owners Jodi and Donni Choate were called to their restaurant moments after the crash.
Jodi posted this on her Facebook Page: 
“It seems a high-speed chase ended in our restaurant, but it could have been so much worse if we had patrons in our bar,” she wrote. “We were scheduled to be open next week, so I guess upon further word from the hubs, I will know more. I beg all of you to be kind. We really never know what one is going through, and this too shall pass.”
She thanked the Abbeville Police Department for how they handled the crash.
Collins, as of Tuesday, was still in the Vermilion Parish Correctional Center. 
Cajuns Claws employee C.J. Frederick began a  Go-Fund-Me account to help rebuild the restaurant. Frederick set a goal of $30,000, and thus far, just under $1,000 has been donated. 
Frederick wrote on the GoFundMe Me Page: “They would never ask for help, but it will take a village to assist them in rebuilding what was demolished. Please see Jodi’s take on this tragic event — such a strong woman who has been carrying a heavy load for quite some time. If you can find it in your heart to help lift them, then my job has been done to assist them in the best way I know how. Anything helps! Thank you all in advance. Much love!”
