Monkland Grill's owner is still sweeping up shards of glass, days after a car crashed into his business, located in Montreal's Notre-Dame-de-Grace (NDG) neighbourhood.

"I was shocked, you know, it was unexpected," said Mohammad Ebrahim Jahanian.

On Wednesday night, two cars collided at the intersection of Somerled and Bessborough Avenues. After the impact, the white Hyundai hit a parked car and careened through the restaurant's terrace into the front door.

Despite the damage, no one was injured.

There were customers in the restaurant at the time, but they weren't sitting near doors or windows, said Jahanian.

Earlier that day in Cote-des-Neiges, 55-year-old Sigal Bar Weizmann died after she and another pedestrian were hit by a car. It happened on Bourret Avenue near McLynn Avenue.

A police source tells CTV News that speed was not a factor in either crash. However, some Cote-des-Neiges-NDG borough residents say they are concerned about street safety.
