found this on another site about this pic:
Don't know if it helps, but that's the McDonalds about 5 miles from my place. The setting looks right (it is laid out like that, and the bit of greenage in the background is there in real life)
However, I haven't heard anything about this, and I know enough people that know enough people who eat at McDonald's (or Bojangles right next door) every morning, (and afternoon, and evening...) that I think I would have heard about it.
ETA:
Ahh. Just asked the folks. Apparantly this did happen. My mother's coworkers in Farmville were talking about it. And a family member (Father's Mother's Niece's Something ) saw the car. The story supposedly goes down just like the description says. I'll try to ferret out some concrete details or at least a round about date. The local paper isn't online, so don't know if they ran a story on it.

What happened is that an elderly couple hit a deer on 264. They knew they hit it, but weren't familiar with the area, and continued until they got to McDonalds. (It's right off 264, and there's signage) The engine did run hot. They called someone to pick them up and the car was left in the parking lot until it could be picked up or towed.
