A driver lost control of her vehicle in the parking lot and crashed into the outdoor dining area at Stone Fire Grill on Cinema Drive in Valencia Wednesday afternoon.
The crash occurred at about 3:30 p.m., according to a Stone Fire Grill employee who did not wish to disclose his name.
Deputies from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and Los Angeles County Fire Department Station 126 responded to the scene.
“(The car) crashed into the patio but fortunately didn’t go into the restaurant,” the restaurant employee said. No one was dining on the patio at the time, he said.
There were two people in the car, but no injuries, he said.
“They come into the restaurant often, about once a week,” he said.
“The driver is a 67-year-old woman who was parking her car and hit the gas instead of the brake,” said Lt. Leo Bauer of the SCV Sheriff’s Station.
“Our traffic investigator said she did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” Bauer said. “It was just an accidental action by the lady.”

Henry David Sandra Ibrahim Eric Ibrahim
Omg!!!
Jay Rosee
OMG that’s Lori and Mary in the photo
I’m sure the embarrassed driver and passenger would like to be publicly identified even without their last names. How about next time saying something like “Hey, I know who those people are. Glad they’re okay!”
Good thing it was too cold for people to be outside?
Marco Bedolla Larriva lol
Maybe they’ll add a drive thru now

Stupid ass people fly threw this road all the time ?
If you had read the complete short story, you would’ve seen that this was an accidental mix up of the gas pedal and brake pedal and not some stupid ass person flying down Cinema Drive.
Joel, Oh trust me we read the whole article. Accident or not its still a dumbass thing to do as well as unsafe and I’m sure she was in a rush just like everyone else around here.

Girl,WHAAAAAT?

How? ?
Wil Navarro Longer than that…we had them cater our wedding in 2002 and had been going there for several years before that. They have/had very reasonable catering prices. We don’t live in the area anymore, but enjoy it when we are in town.
Susan McKown Esterline ya i wasnt sure exactly how long. I know its been at the same place at least since early 2000s.
I have been eating there since it was called Wildfire and they had to change names…they turned it into a naming contest. (A little old-person trivia!). ?

Make sure to take away her SUV and drivers’ license while the city hands her the bill for Stone Fire Grill repairs!
I like where your heads at . It seems no one is held accountable in this town unless they had booze or drugs in their system. I mean the least they could do is make her take a behind the wheel to see if she is what the state would call a valid driver. But no we just sweep up the glass and carry on like nothing happened.
You guys are acting like 67 is so old. The official age of retirement is 70! She will be held accountable. She will have to pay for damages and her insurance will likely go up. Accidents happen and there was nothing stated that she was being negligent. If this was a one time thing give the lady a break, she is probably embarrassed enough as it is..

Looks like someone needs to hang it up and stay off the road. Just some shattered glass this time but maybe next time its a person.
Oops…
Friendly tip:
Rarely a need to jam on the brake pedal when parking.
A light touch is fine.
That way, if you accidentally hit the gas instead, you won’t go flying over curbs and into buildings.
