2 cars smash through Wendy's in South Brunswick, NJ

SOUTH BRUNSWICK — A family eating lunch outside Wendy's on Route 130 narrowly missed being hit by two cars that crashed into the restaurant on Monday afternoon.

People were eating both inside and outside the restaurant around 1 p.m. when a 2008 Toyota Corolla heading south went off the road, across the grass of a neighboring business and into a berm at Wendy's, according to South Brunswick police.

The Toyota went into the air and hit a 2017 Audi in the drive-thru lane, sending both into the building, police said.

Video posted by ABC 7 Eyewitness News showed the car landing with a bounce in an outdoor patio dining area.

Police said the driver of the Toyota may have suffered a medical emergency behind the wheel. The driver was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in stable condition. Family members took a juvenile in the Audi who was experiencing pain to a hospital.

Neither driver's identity was disclosed by police.
