Jeep crashes into Main Street Grill

A Jeep Cherokee rammed through the front of Main Street Grill, which was packed with 40 customers, on Sunday afternoon.  According to the County Times:

Half Moon Bay resident Carlos Pantoja said he was backing his car out of a parking lot on Main Street at about 1:12 p.m. when the accelerator engaged, throwing the car into reverse and sending it straight backwards into the window of the Main Street Grill across the street.

"Something happened to the gas pedal. The engine started running and I couldn’t stop it. I didn’t have control of the car," Pantoja said. Both Pantoja and his passenger, resident Tom Clements, were unhurt.

Patrons saw the SUV coming and ran for cover. Two people were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
