LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Some people were sent to the hospital with minor injuries after a vehicle crashed into a restaurant in Valley Station Thursday according to officials.

Louisville Metro Police (LMPD) said a truck swiped another car which sent the truck crashing through the window of a building in the 10800 block of Dixie Highway.

MetroSafe says they got a call around 6:30 p.m. that a truck had crashed into the Penn Station on Dixie Highway.

Both employees and customers were inside the building according to police; two to three of them were sent to the hospital with minor injuries.

The driver of the truck, 58-year-old Ryan Thompson, was arrested for the collision according to police.

Police added the six wanton endangerment charges stem from the number of people that were in the building.
