Four people were injured after a car crashed into a California restaurant owned by actor and comedian George Lopez on Tuesday.

TMZ reports that a driver ran a stop sign near the Torrance, California restaurant, hitting another car and causing it to spin out of control and into the eatery.

Both drivers, a passenger in one of the vehicles, and a pedestrian were injured during the incident outside of Chingon Kitchen, the 60-year-old star’s restaurant.

Nobody was injured inside of the restaurant, though the four people who were hurt outside were taken to the hospital for moderate injuries.

Along with Chingon Kitchen, Lopez also owns a brewing company, George Lopez Brewing Co., which is based in The Brews Hall, situated next to the restaurant.

The damage, including broken glass and smashed storage racks, occurred by the front entrance of the restaurant but, according to TMZ, the restaurant can continue to operate.

The Torrance location is the second Chingon Kitchen owned by Lopez. The first, which opened in 2017 in Highland, California, is located at San Manuel Casino, reports The Daily Mail. There is also a third location of the restaurant at Vee Quiva in Arizona.

The menu for Chingon Kitchen was inspired by Lopez’s family recipes, and several, including the Carne Asada and Pollo Asado, are available for purchase at the grocery store Food4Less. Four beers from Lopez’s brewing company are also available at the grocery chain.
