At least six people, including a toddler, were injured Tuesday night when a car crashed into a Denny's restaurant in Geneva, Ontario County.

Kathleen Drooby, 64, of Geneva drove her sedan through the front of Denny's on Route 5 about 8:15 p.m. Ontario County sheriff's deputies said Drooby had pulled into a parking spot in front of the restaurant, but failed to stop.

Four people inside the restaurant, including a three-year-old boy, were taken to area hospitals to be treated for a variety of injuries, deputies said.

No one was hit by the car, but were struck by debris, tables and booths that were upended because of the crash, deputies said.

One patron - Christian Deeg, 33, of Germany - was in a booth across from where the car entered the eatery. He suffered a broken leg and was taken to Geneva General Hospital for treatment, deputies said,

The three other injured restaurant patrons - Soraya Fish, 35, and her young son Gabriel, both of Schenectady, and Sylvia Borglum, 69, of Geneva - were in a nearby booth with another woman, who was not hurt in the crash.

Fish and her son were both taken to Strong Memorial Hospital and were treated and released.

Drooby and her passenger, a 79-year-old Geneva, were also taken to the hospital as a precaution, deputies said.

The injured patrons were among 20 to 25 people inside the restaurant, including employees, at the time of the crash, police said.

The crash caused structural damage to the building. The restaurant will be closed Wednesday

Deputies are investigating the crash.
