The driver of a 2008 Ford ran off the road to avoid hitting another vehicle before running into the outdoor seating of scrambled.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A person ran into the outdoor seating of Scrambled Southern Diner with a vehicle on Spring Garden Street in Greensboro Saturday morning.

According to police reports, around 9:45 a.m. the driver of a 2008 Ford was headed east on Spring Garden Street before coming to the intersection of Howard Street. That's when a 1999 Jeep was headed north on Howard Street before coming to the same intersection. 

The Jeep started making a right-hand turn on to Spring Garden Streets as the Ford kept heading straight. Then, the Ford ran off the roadway to avoid running into the Jeep. That's when the driver of the Ford crashed into the outdoor seating area of Scrambled, according to police reports. 

Police said the driver of the Ford received a citation for unsafe movement. Damage to the building was estimated at a value of $16,000. 

No injuries were reported.
