Two people were killed and at least nine others injured on Friday when a sport utility vehicle driven by an older man careened into the outdoor seating area of a Washington restaurant, in what police said appeared to be an accident.

Firefighters and police responded at 12:15 p.m. local time to the Parthenon Restaurant in the district’s Chevy Chase neighborhood where the gray SUV had gone off the road and into a patio area of the eatery, a District of Columbia Fire and EMS spokesperson said.
