ROSENBERG, Texas — A driver plowed through a wall of a busy East Texas diner on Monday, injuring 23 people.

Police in the Houston suburb of Rosenberg, Texas, said a man crashed his SUV into a Denny’s restaurant just off the highway late Monday morning.

The vehicle slammed into the restaurant’s south wall, leaving patrons with injuries ranging from minor cuts to “severe injuries” that didn’t appear to be life-threatening, police said in a statement. The victims ranged in age from 12 to 60 years old.

The driver of the SUV was not injured, police said. The cause of the crash was not immediately released.
