Never seen anything like it. Not here.
There were reports the driver, an older woman, was taken to hospital but neither police nor paramedics were able to provide details of any injuries.
Mr Talotta said it appeared the driver had confused the accelerator and the brake, smashing through the shopfront and missing a table by that much .
Vince Talotta speaks to 9News.(9News)
He said the lady and some of the older patrons in the restaurant were pretty shaken up but it was lucky no-one had been walking past at the time.
Police investigate the aftermath.(9News) It was just so loud eh. I just seen materials, like glass and stuff fly across our shop and I m thinking what the hell s just happened there? .

There was something missing in my life this week and it wasn’t till Tuesday that I figured out what it was.
The Canadian International AutoShow is usually on at this time of February – kicking off on the Friday leading into the Ontario Family Day long weekend and continuing till the following Sunday – and I’d be ensconced in a room at the Intercontinental Hotel, which is attached to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre where the AutoShow is held.
Not this year. I’m hunkered down in my house, waiting to be vaccinated. But just wait till a year from now when the AutoShow returns with a vengeance. Here’s a hint: there will be a lot of electric cars on display. The world is going electric and the Toronto show has always been cutting edge. I don’t want to wish my life away but I can hardly wait.
