Multiple people were injured in Philadelphia on Wednesday after a car plowed into a restaurant's outdoor dining area, according to ABC 6.

The crash happened around 11 a.m. outside Cafe La Maude, in Philadelphia's Northern Liberties neighborhood, NBC Philadelphia reported.

It's unclear exactly how many people were injured or the extent of the injuries. The owner of Cafe La Maude told NBC Philadelphia that eight people were in the outdoor eating area at the time of the crash.
