The vehicle struck the coffeeshop’s metal gate, which prevented it from driving further into the premises.

This likely reduced the severity of the incident.

While there were about 20 customers in the shop at the time, none of them was reportedly harmed.

The elderly driver was also not injured.

However, Reddot reported that he appeared shaken following the incident.
