Officers are currently on scene piecing this together.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Three people are left injured after a car drove through a restaurant in the Highlands on Friday afternoon. 

John Bradley, a spokesperson for Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD), told WHAS11 officers are currently on scene piecing this together. 

The vehicle crashed into Roots, located at 1216 Bardstown Road. 

Heart and Soy / Roots are two restaurants that share a space. They both serve vegan/vegetarian food. 

Bradley said, as of now, it appears a motorist drove through the front of the business. He said the car was turning left and was hit in the back, pushing it into the Roots building.

He said there are three reported injuries, one adult and two children. The adult injured was the one operating the vehicle, and the two children were injured by pushed objects as a result of the incident; Bradley said they are all expected to survive their injuries. 

LMPD is handing this investigation. 

This is a developing story. We will update this with more information as we receive it.
