One customer was briefly trapped under a booth that was knocked over, but no one was injured.
A minivan slammed into a busy family pancake restaurant Thursday morning in west suburban Westmont.
Westmont police said no injuries were reported when a Chrysler minivan crashed into the wall of Harvest Pancake House and Grill at 339 W. 63rd St. But the crash did cause major damage to the wall of the restaurant, and pushed booths away from their stations. At one point, a customer was trapped under a booth, and several people rushed to his aid and were able to free him.
"It was very loud. It sounded like an explosion. I saw a lot of glass flying in at us, and then the gentleman was pinned under the booth. Four big guys came, and took the table off of him, and got him out, and he didn't have a scratch on him, thankfully," server Nicole Olandes said.
