One bystander in the restaurant said that “it sounded like a bomb had exploded,” as per Click2Houston, while another patron said she “could see like dust of glass, dishes flying, people being shoved by the car and then it went… it stopped.”
The driver of the Jeep has not been arrested, but police say that could change as a result of the ongoing investigation. The driver, reported to be in his 30s, was seen being given a sobriety test at the Denny’s.
One of those injured, Roy Rodriguez, told KHOU 11 that “We’d just about finished eating and were drinking coffee and then all of a sudden, it come a storm. There was blood all over the place.”
Injuries range from some cuts to broken bones, but all victims were conscious upon arriving to a local hospital.
