The video of the accident shows the car crashing through a wall on the side of the restaurant. Even though both customers and employees were only a few feet from the vehicle, no one inside the restaurant was hurt. The driver of the car was also not injured.
Police did not provide any information about what caused the driver to strike the building. However, the restaurant says it is open for business and is working to make repairs.
Why Cars Strike Buildings
It is not clear what caused the accident in this situation. Cars strike buildings for many reasons. In some situations, a driver may mistake the gas pedal for the brakes. Other times, especially in fast-moving accidents, a driver may suffer a medical emergency, causing them to lose consciousness and control. Mechanical defects could be to blame.
If someone suffered an injury in this type of accident, the driver of the vehicle could be held responsible for all medical and emotional losses that occurred.
