PHILADELPHIA - A car crashed into an outdoor dining structure in Northern Liberties.

The silver Nissan appeared to collide with both the dining structure and a white van. A crowd was visible at the scene as SKYFOX flew overhead.

Reports say the incident happened at Cafe La Maude. Patrons were seated at tables when the accident occurred. At least six people were transported to a local hospital. There is no word on their conditions.

"Just two cars trying to pass each other. I don’t know exactly what happened. I didn’t see it. One car was trying to pass the other," stated Café La Maude owner Gabi Richan. "Something happened there. I don’t know if it was road rage. I can’t say that. I didn’t see it, but why the driver was trying to pass the other, I have no idea."

Police said an investigation is underway into the cause of the accident.
