A vehicle crashed into patrons at an outdoor restaurant seating area along Connecticut Avenue in Northwest Washington and left about eight people injured, fire officials said.
A D.C. police spokesman said there is no indication the crash was intentional, and it is being investigated as an accident. Fire officials said the crash happened at the Parthenon restaurant and an adjoining lounge. The Parthenon, a Greek restaurant, is recognizable by its signature blue-and-white awning that juts out onto the sidewalk.The SUV ended up diagonal on the wide sidewalk, its back end partially under the awning.
“It suddenly accelerated,” Pulles said. “It looked like someone hit the accelerator instantly. It was going super-fast, like police-car fast.”
