Police photos show a gaping hole from the crash and the Jeep completely inside the restaurant.
“They have stitches everywhere and my mom possibly has a broken leg, but I mean it’s a blessing that they are talking and alive and everything,” Flores told the station. “My heart goes out to whoever is hurt worse and to Denny’s, I mean, I told them all inside how sorry I was this happened.”
The driver of the vehicle was uninjured, police said. It wasn’t immediately clear what led to the crash.
Police said an investigation into the crash is ongoing.
