COLUMBIA, S.C. — Columbia Police say a driver whose car crashed into the front of a Popeyes fast food restaurant suffered a medical event before the crash.

The incident happened at the Popeyes in the 7400 block of Garners Ferry Road, which is near the Walmart shopping center complex.

Police said Tuesday the woman had a health event, causing her to lose control of the vehicle, but did not clarify beyond that. No one was injured in the crash.

Pictures taken by the Columbia Fire Department from the scene showed a white sedan had plowed through the front of the chicken restaurant, smashing glass and knocking over tables. 

While it caused a lot of damage, there were no reported injuries.
