SEATTLE (AP) - Seven people in Washington state were injured after a vehicle crashed into a restaurant in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District, authorities said.

The Seattle Police Department said the driver of a Toyota Camry backed into the entrance of Dim Sum King on Thursday around 2 p.m while attempting to park the car, The Seattle Times reported.

All seven people inside the restaurant at the time of the crash were taken to the hospital with various injuries, including two people with life-threatening wounds, police said.
