LADONIA, Ala. (AP) -- A truck crashed into a Ladonia barbeque restaurant for the second time in three years.

Authorities say an 18-wheeler swerved out of control on a busy highway around noon Friday and jack-knifed into the dining room of the 13th Street Bar-B-Que of Ladonia.

Owner Gary Tamor told the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer that terrified customers rushed into another part of the restaurant.

He said a family with a 6-year-old boy was sitting a few feet from
where the truck stopped.

No serious injuries were reported and Phenix City officer Dennis Greene said the case is under investigation.

A truck also hit the store two years ago on Christmas night.

But that accident took place when the restaurant was empty.
