In a shocking moment caught on video, a car went airborne, hitting another vehicle before flying into a nearby Wendy’s and narrowly missing a family sitting at outside tables.
The crash, which occurred in South Brunswick, New Jersey, was during the lunchtime rush at 1 pm August 16, when the fast-food joint was packed with customers inside and outside.
The Toyota Corolla was southbound on Route 130 near Melrich Road, when it hit a berm in front of a Wendy’s.
