9 injured after car crashes into Snellville restaurant


UPDATE: 9 people were injured 
UPDATE: Details about car crash into Snellville restaurant emerge

It's really lucky that nobody was killed in this incident. This happened at the shopping center that is at the corner of  US78 (Main Street) and Scenic Highway/124. The Hot 'N' Cold Chinese Buffet is on the Big Lots end of the shopping center. There had to be some serious speed for the vehicle to go over the median and hit the restaurant - because I know there are usually several rows of parked cars between the highway and the restaurant. Some reports said that the vehicle was driven by a woman in her 50's and that the vehicle hit a row of shrubbery before it hit the restaurant. I'm also hearing that she accelerated as she exited the Krystal restaurant across the street.That has not been verified, however. An eyewitness said it was a terrible scene with quite a bit of panic and smoke.
