ROSENBERG, Texas (AP) — A driver plowed through a wall of a busy East Texas restaurant, injuring 23 people.

Police in the Houston suburb of Rosenberg, Texas said a man crashed his SUV into a Denny's restaurant just off the highway late Monday morning. The vehicle slammed into the restaurant's south wall leaving patrons with injuries ranging from minor cuts to “severe injuries” that don't appear to be life-threatening, police said in a statement. Victims ranged in age from 12 to 60 years old.

The driver of the SUV was not injured, police said. The cause of the crash was not immediately released.

Video of the aftermath shows a red vehicle fully inside the restaurant, with the wall and windows around it demolished.

I guess the driver wanted a drive-through window?

Thanks for the ping! Glad no fatalities. Hope it wasn’t intentional.

He thought Denny’s had a drive through lane. Inside the middle of the restaurant.

Notice a few past ones.

Couldn’t find a great magazine ad showing several people in an office waiting room and a man looking up from his magazine as a car was halfway through the wall next to him.

At work a young part time employee newly in the US was working on getting her first driver’s license. I made the crack that the picture’s caption was “Laurie got her temporary license.”

I don't understand why there would be people in Denny's in the first place. I went to Denny's several years ago with a group of 6 people. There were few people in there but the delivery was very slow and when it came all six orders were wrong including drinks. Denny's is right up there with Starbucks as a place I will never enter for any reason(never again for Denny's).

Apparently, he found it, so he drove through it. 😂 Actually, I wonder if he did it on purpose, thinking he could kill some Trump supporters? Who the heck knows? 🤔😊

Sadly one of my first thoughts was of Darryl Brooks, who drove an SUV into a parade about two years ago. There was another vehicular attack involving a cargo van in New York 2019, or 2020.

If the dude was trying to kill some Trump supporters, the Media will cover it up.

Possibly because the driver has yet to be charged with anything.
