A driver unwittingly turned a restaurant into a drive-through Saturday evening when his truck crashed into the building, scattering and knocking down a family of 12 but leaving them with only minor injuries.

The truck slammed into the Galleria Restaurant at 2 Spring St. around 5:30 p.m., breaking the wall and window, and scattering the family that had just ordered dinner for a birthday party, the restaurant owner said in an interview. Some of the people ended up on the ground, he said.

The pickup's nose ended up inside the establishment, the owner said.
