One person was hurt in a two-car crash that heavily damaged the Crooked Mile Café at the intersection of Brighton and Stevens avenues Sunday morning.

Portland police said alcohol appears to have been a factor in the accident and charges are expected to be filed after the investigation into the 1:45 a.m. crash is complete.

Police said one car was traveling inbound on Brighton Avenue and the other car was traveling inbound on Stevens Avenue toward Congress Street when the cars crashed, sending one spinning into the café. One person was taken to Maine Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Power to the building was cut off, and the cafe sustained significant damage, police said.

Police said they would not release the names of the drivers until Monday.
