Eleven people were injured, five of them seriously, when a car sped off outside a Washington restaurant.
Police believe it was a car accident.
Firefighters and police rushed to the Parthenon restaurant in the Chevy Chase district at 12.15pm, where a silver SUV went off the road and crashed into the restaurant courtyard.
Five of the eight injured who were taken to local hospitals are in critical condition. Three other people were given first aid on the spot and did not need to be admitted for treatment, according to a spokesman for the Washington Fire Department.
The driver of the SUV was an elderly man who appeared to have lost control of the car or had a medical problem, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.
So far it remains unclear whether the driver was injured.
