The collision happened at the Quickway Diner in Bloomingburg after police say the driver of a black car cut off the truck at a nearby gas station, sending it directly into the diner.

Images shared by the Quickway Diner show the damage that was done to the front of the eatery, sending glass and debris through into tables where patrons sit and eat. One photo shows a cup of coffee and a pancake still sitting on a table that had been covered with broken pieces of window, metal and wood.
