La Mirada~An elderly woman slammed her Toyota sedan into Cabo Taco earlier today around 1:00 p.m.

The restaurant, located in the La Mirada Theatre Center, is now closed and is expected to reopen next week.

The driver. who witnesses say looked around 80 years old, was very shaken and had little to say, if anything.

Owner Kenny Yowell said, " I saw her coming and thought she was going to stop, but she didn't. A customer who was dining was able to just twist out of the way of the car. And he ended up pinned between a wall, the table, and the car."

Waitress Sandra Zavala had just finished serving a table that was taken out and was walking away, "It's a miracle nobody was killed. The large table saved the mans life."

The vehicle entered the restaurant smashing through booths and tables and sideswiping patrons, creating a chaotic scene.

Four patrons were taken to the hospital complaining of back, rib, shoulder injuries, but none seem to be life threatening. The unidentified elderly woman and her passenger were also taken to the hospital.

It is unclear at this time what caused the driver to enter the restaurant, but age does seem to be a factor.
