An SUV crashed into Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews at Gulf Coast Town Center in Fort Myers on Wednesday afternoon.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office responded around 2:30 after the car went through the restaurant’s bar window along Gulf Center Drive.
San Carlos Park Fire was also assisting at the crash.
It is unknown what caused the crash.
One woman was taken to the hospital with “moderate injuries,” according to the San Carlos Park Fire Rescue District.
NBC2 talked to some of the around 30 people inside when the van slammed into the restaurant. Thankfully no working or customers were hurt.
“It sounded like a bomb went off,” said Pedro Placido, who was in the middle of eating at the time of the crash. “So we thought it was like a terrorist attack. The whole building was shaking.”
According to one of the restaurant’s employees, it’s mostly just the bar area that’s damaged and the location is back open.
