HAMPTON, N.H. — Several people were injured when a pickup truck crashed into a New Hampshire restaurant and the driver is facing a driving under the influence charge, police said.

Police officers and the fire department responded to Greg’s Bistro in Hampton just after 9 p.m. Saturday for a report of a pickup truck that had crashed into the building, Hampton police said.

The truck “had left the roadway and crashed through the front door area of the business,” police said.

Three people in the restaurant and one of the two people in the truck were taken to the hospital, authorities said. The severity of their injuries was not disclosed.
