The event occurred shortly following 5:30 p.m. when an Acura car drove directly into the vestibule while many customers were seated inside the restaurant located at 2960 King West.

“It seems that the lady who was driving the car wanted to park in front of the restaurant door,” said Sergeant Côté, of the Sherbrooke Police Department (SPS), met on site. But for some reason, just as she was almost done parking, the vehicle began to rapidly accelerate into the restaurant. »

No one was seriously injured, the officer added.

The couple who were inside the white Acura were nevertheless treated by paramedics.

According to information collected on site, but not confirmed, a girl aged around 8 years old, who was inside the restaurant, was slightly shaken by the unexpected entry of the vehicle.

Despite the fact that the car completely blocked the entrance to the restaurant, all customers were able to leave without problems. Sherbrooke firefighters were also called to intervene to remove piles of materials that had collapsed on the vehicle. He was finally removed from the vestibule a little before 7 p.m.

The car was extricated from its unfortunate position shortly before 7 p.m. (Jean Roy/La Tribune)
