The car had been driving down a nearby highway when the driver lost control, drove off-road and then struck a raised barrier on the Wendy’s property, launching the car into the air, WJHL reports. 

The car struck another vehicle that was waiting in the drive-thru at the moment, causing both vehicles to collide with the restaurant. An outdoor seating area was struck and one of the vehicles struck a table that was next to one where a family was eating.

It’s believed that the driver of the original vehicle may have suffered from a medical episode, which caused the initial accident.
