An out-of-control SUV with an unidentified individual at the wheel crashed into the patio of a Los Angeles restaurant on Saturday, hitting two customers and pinning one of them against the building.

The driver crashed into the people and the restaurant's exterior and then drove off immediately, leaving passersby to help the victims and the owners of Tere's Mexican Grill on Melrose Avenue in the neighborhood of Hancock Park.

'The last thing I saw was the guy literally get pinned onto our business, and everything just coming straight towards me, like the glass and the door,' Roberto Melgar, a member of the family that owns the restaurant and who was working behind the register at the time of accident, told NBC LA.

Eye-witness and good Samaritan Shakora Sykes administered aid to the man who was briefly pinned between the vehicle and restaurant, until paramedics arrived.

'All of a sudden I just saw a car drift [into our building],' Melgar said. 'It looked like Fast and the Furious: Drift.'

'It [the SUV] literally hit him, reversed backwards and sped off,' Sykes said.

The accident happened at around 4.30pm, when the driver of the SUV turned onto Melrose Avenue from Cahuenga Boulevard and lost control of the vehicle, witnesses told CBS.

It was not immediately clear which direction the driver was coming from, off of Cahuenga, before making the turn, losing control and crashing into the unsuspecting individuals at the restaurant.

The scene captured by NBC LA showed the entrance to the restaurant destroyed, with the door off its hinges and surrounded by shattered glass and patio furniture.

Sykes said she saw the man laying on the ground, injured, and sprang into action.

She cleared the crowd away, and called for gloves and towels.

The injured individuals have not been identified, but witnesses said they believed the man who was briefly pinned against the restaurant likely suffered from a broken leg

Telling the man to stay calm and breathe, she said she took towels and pressed them on his leg, which she elevated while continuously checking his pulse until police and emergency responders arrived.

The injured individuals have not been identified, but witnesses said they believed the man likely suffered a broken leg.

Individuals nearby followed the SUV down the street, where it was apparently parked after the driver ran off.

'I just don't know how you can see [that] you've literally hit somebody and just be like, "Well I'm gonna keep going," I just can't imagine that,' Melgar said.

The restaurant, located at 5870 Melrose Avenue, has been boarded up where the damage was done, and will remain closed for the weekend.

The owners hope to be open for business again on Monday.
