Car plows through restaurant as diners run for cover

Several diners at a restaurant in Australia are lucky to be alive after a driver with a provisional licence crashed his car into the building. The vehicle collided with a bus and then ricocheted into a Japanese restaurant in the western city of Perth.

Five people were hurt, including a nine-year-old girl whose father can be seen in CCTV footage scrambling over debris to get to her. Another man in a business suit can be seen looking up from beneath the car bonnet, which had him pinned to the ground.

Police said it was fortunate no-one was killed in the accident. Royal Perth Hospital said four men were treated for "bumps and scratches" and released a short time later.

The girl was taken to another hospital where she was treated for minor injuries. Officers later questioned the driver but no charges have been laid.
