The event occurred shortly after 5:30 p.m. when an Acura car drove directly into the vestibule while many customers were sitting inside the restaurant at 2960 King West.
“It appears that the lady driving the car wanted to park in front of the restaurant door,” said Sergeant Côté of the Sherbrooke Police Department (SPS), who met at the scene. But for some reason, just as she was almost finished parking, the vehicle began to accelerate quickly into the restaurant. »
No one was seriously injured, the official added.
The couple, who were in the white Acura, were still treated by paramedics.
According to information gathered on site but not confirmed, a girl of about eight years old who was in the restaurant was slightly shaken by the unexpected entry of the vehicle.
Although the car completely blocked the entrance to the restaurant, all customers were able to leave the restaurant without any problems. Sherbrooke firefighters were also called to respond and clear piles of material that had collapsed on the vehicle. He was finally removed from the anteroom shortly before 7 p.m.
