NEW JERSEY - Police in New Jersey are calling it a ‘miracle’ after a car struck a berm, went airborne and landed on its side next to a table where people were eating outside a Wendy's restaurant in South Brunswick.
No one was seriously injured.
On Monday at about 1:30 p.m., a 2008 Toyota Corolla left the road near Melrich Road, drove across the grass and struck the berm before going airborne. The vehicle also struck a 2017 Audi, reported Patch South Brunswick.
Video from two different angles showed the vehicle go over the berm and the other showed it land next to the table.
