ONLEY, Va. — Eight people have been taken to the hospital after a pick-up truck drove into a restaurant wall in Onley on the Eastern Shore.

Around 12:30 p.m. on Monday, a Toyota Tundra went into to northern wall of the Happy Buffet Restaurant on U.S. 13, according to Onley Town Manager Susan M. Rillo.

First responders arrived about three minutes later and took the driver of the truck and seven diners to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital, according to Rillo.
