The police stated that the driver of the SUV was trying to hit the brake when he accidentally hit the gas pedal instead. His foot got stuck on the accelerator when he reached into the back seat for something and lost control of the vehicle. The police have charged him with reckless driving.
In addition to the criminal charges being brought against the driver there are several claims that can be pursued in a situation such as this. The driver of the SUV may be responsible for the damages to the restaurant property in addition to any bodily injuries suffered by its patrons.
