Bracebridge OPP say a drunken man smashed a stolen car right into a fast food restaurant on Highway 11 early Thursday morning.  The vehicle burst into flames and the man fled on foot.  Not very far though as he stole another car from a nearby house.  Police located him driving the wrong way in the northbound lanes of  Highway 11, a chase ensued for at least 20 kilometres before the car hit two police cruisers and came to a crashing halt when it struck a large oak tree.  A 48 year old man from Gravenhurst faces a whack of charges including impaired driving.
