ANTIOCH, Ill. (CBS) -- A car took down a lamp post and hit a building in Antioch Tuesday evening.

As CBS 2's Kris Habermehl reported, a big portion of Route 83 – Main Street in Antioch – was closed off at the scene.

The vehicle left the roadway heading north, slammed into a utility pole, and ran through the outdoor seating area at a Dairy Queen. Fortunately, no one was in the outdoor seating area at the time.

The car then plowed into Polson's Natural Foods – coming to rest against the cashier's station. The building was left heavily damaged.

The driver was the only person hurt. There was no word on the extent of the driver's injuries.

It was not immediately known why the driver lost control and ran over several different objects.
