Two people were taken to hospital after a vehicle struck a patron leaving a restaurant in Cobourg on Friday morning.
Witnesses say a car was slowly pulling into the parking space in front of the Home Plate Restaurant when it suddenly accelerated.
The vehicle went over the curb, struck a customer as he was exiting the Elgin St. W. restaurant, and then continued on. The vehicle then struck the building and finally a fire hydrant.
