Burger Box Owners Speak Out After Indio Hit-and-Run Crash

The owners of Burger Box in Indio are speaking out after a hit-and-run crash left their family-owned restaurant heavily damaged.

Owner Yolanda Ruiz, who has worked at the restaurant for more than 20 years, says seeing the damage was heartbreaking.
