The SUV crashed through the front of the business around 3 p.m., knocking down a second wall and all the tables and chairs inside. There were around eight people inside but thankfully no injuries, Sterlin said.
The damage from the crash extended all the way to the back of the restaurant, right before the restrooms.
Sterlin said he had been sitting at a table talking with someone a couple minutes before the crash. He said the woman who was behind the wheel was a regular customer.

"She’s my regular customer. I thank God her life and we’re alive. So big damage, but God is good all the time," Sterlin said.
