TAMPA, Fla — Five people, including at least one child, were rushed to the hospital Sunday after a red pick-up truck came barreling through a Waffle House.
It happened around 2:10 p.m. on W. Columbus Drive near N. Gomez Avenue, about a mile-and-a-half from Raymond James Stadium.
An adult and child were most seriously hurt, according to Tampa Fire Rescue, with three other people suffering minor injuries. It's not yet clear whether the people injured were in the restaurant or the pick-up.
First responders say the crash happened while the truck's unnamed driver was trying to park his car and pressed the gas instead of the brake.
Images from the scene showed two sides of the restaurant with major damage, including shattered glass and bent metal.
Police tape was placed around the restaurant, which remains closed to customers. The Tampa Police Department is conducting an investigation into the crash.
