Witnesses said the vehicle didn't stop until it hit the back of the building, leaving a path of destruction.
Two customers, a mother and her 15-year-old daughter, were listed in critical condition. Both suffered fractures to their legs. The mother also suffered a head injury.
A third customer has cuts to the head and another customer suffered a broken ankle.

"We heard something and people were saying it is thunder? Is it an earthquake? It was like the whole floor was shaking. And we were scared, honestly. We knew something was bad, something was going bad," Igor Spreckic said.
Police said the driver of the car is cooperating with investigators.
The Allegheny County District Attorney's office will determine if charges will be filed, once the investigation is complete.
