WATCH: Car crashes into Bellevue hot pot restaurant


BELLEVUE, Wash. — A Bellevue restaurant is closed for repairs after a car crashed through its entrance on Wednesday.

The Swish Swish Hot Pot restaurant in Bellevue posted a video of the crash on its Instagram and called it “sudden and startling.”

The video shows a car reversing into the restaurant’s dining area, crashing into a booth where people were sitting.

The Bellevue Fire Department said it transported two people to the hospital with lower leg pain.

“We look forward to welcoming you back soon and are thankful for the chance to serve you again. Until then, we wish everyone well and are here to support our staff and customers through this startling experience,” the restaurant said in the post.

The restaurant thanked its followers for their patience and support. The restaurant did not say how long repairs would take or offer a time for reopening. They do have another location in Lynnwood that is still open for business, which is located at 3000 184th Street Southwest.

The circumstances surrounding the crash are unknown. The Bellevue Police Department said they didn’t have any details on whether or not drugs or alcohol were a factor.
