CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — One of Corpus Christi's most iconic drive-thru restaurants was the scene of a fire on Monday morning.

A 9-1-1 call came in for the Sonic Drive-In at Ayers and Norton Streets just after 11:30 a.m. for a fire in their storage area. The fire quickly spread from an interior wall to the roof.

It took firefighters with the Corpus Christi Fire Department about half an hour to get it under control, and by then the fire had caused extensive damage.
