Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 30 Oct, 2023 09:36 AM

Police in Richmond say a 46-year-old Burnaby woman is recovering after being critically injured when a vehicle crashed through the wall of a Richmond restaurant on Friday.

The driver of the car -- a dark coloured Tesla -- was not hurt and R-C-M-P now say alcohol and drugs were not factors, but the detachment's criminal collision investigation team has taken over the case.

The crash happened just before noon on Friday and the injured woman was inside the restaurant when the Tesla smashed through the wall.

Mounties say they are still looking for information or potential dashcam video of the moments leading up to the crash.
