PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A vehicle crashed into the side of the Eat'n Park location near the Clearview Mall in Butler County.
The crash happened just before 6 a.m. on Monday, less than an hour before they were set to open their doors.
The driver of the vehicle was evaluated by medics. It's unclear if they were injured or taken to the hospital.
At least five employees were inside the restaurant at the time of the crash, a corporate spokesperson said. None were injured. There were no customers inside.
The vehicle ended up nearly all the way into the building, causing significant damage.

"How? That's coming across two lanes, up an embankment and straight into the building, that's crazy," said Butler resident Rich Walkowski.
Crews started making repairs as soon as the vehicle was removed, and the restaurant was back open just in time for the lunch rush.
