A pick-up truck, whose driver suffered from a medical condition, crashed through a bar in Little Canada, Minnesota, knocking and pinning customers inside. The 51-year-old-driver hit a light pole first before slamming into the building.
“I seen a pole flying through and I thought that was kind of strange,” said bartender Pat Sazenski. “And I heard a boom. Then a truck came right through the wall.” Three people were pinned up against the bar; two of them were seriously hurt. A total of six people were taken to the hospital.

“They were dazed. They didn’t know what happened,” said Jim Cossak, who was working in the parking lot at the time and used his Bobcat to pull the truck away. “My fiancée went up to the woman pinned to try to help her and free the stuff away from her,” Cossak said.
Authorities said if the bartender had been serving someone at the opposite end of the bar, he would have been crushed. The driver was also taken to the hospital, but police aren’t releasing details about the medical condition.
