DURHAM, N.C. — Brigs at the Park was closed Friday after a car plowed through the front of the Durham restaurant, injuring one person.

A driver in the parking lot outside the restaurant, at 4900 N.C. Highway 55, accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes and careened into the eatery, authorities said.

A female customer was hit by the car and was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that authorities said didn't appear to be life-threatening.

The driver was not injured.

Brigs' owner said he’s not sure when the restaurant will reopen.
