San Diego: California-based NRG Raj Patel would have never imagined that he would witness such an accident in his restaurant! Patel, owner of the Miramar restaurant at Artesia, saw a car suddenly entering into his restaurant at 2 pm on Friday. It literally plowed into a restaurant, hitting one customer who was walking out the door and two others who were seated. A third woman was pushed aside by the impact holding her knee in pain.
The interesting aspect is that none of the people involved were seriously injured. The driver, a regular customer at the Surati Farsan Mart, was stopping by to place an order for her daughter’s birthday. She accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes, she told the cops. She told the cops that she was shaken and felt awful about the incident. San Diego police said that the accident was under investigation, they were unclear if the driver will face any charges.
San Diego Police Department Lieutenant Jerry Hara said, “Looks like they probably stepped on a little bit of the gas pedal as well, causing the car to actually go into the restaurant.”
“When I first pulled it out, I was shocked, it was crazy-looking. Luckily, I am surprised nobody was hurt with all of the force of the impact,” said Patel. Damage to the restaurant is estimated at about $25,000.
