VIDEO: Car crashes into Bellevue restaurant, sends diners scrambling

BELLEVUE, Wash. - The Swish Swish Hot Pot restaurant in Bellevue is temporarily closed for repairs after a car crashed through the storefront on Wednesday. 

"We experienced a shocking incident: a car crashed into our restaurant," the restaurant wrote in a social media post. "It was sudden and startling, but by some miracle, everyone is safe. We're incredibly relieved and grateful that there were no serious injuries."  

Video of the crash was posted to the restaurant’s social media accounts. On its Instagram page, the crash was called "sudden and startling."  

The sixteen-second clip shows a four-door sedan backing up into the storefront at a high rate of speed, crashing through the glass and hitting a booth where people were sitting. The individuals nearby quickly scrambled away from the car after it came to a stop.
