A driver has ploughed through the wall of a busy restaurant in Texas, injuring 23 people.

Police in the Houston suburb of Rosenberg said a man crashed his SUV into a Denny’s restaurant.

The vehicle slammed into the restaurant’s south wall leaving patrons with injuries ranging from minor cuts to “severe injuries” that do not 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.

Video of the aftermath showed a red vehicle fully inside the restaurant, with the wall and windows around it demolished.
