PORT ORANGE, Fla. — Diners at the Biscuit’s “N” Gravy and More restaurant in Port Orange received a surprise Wednesday when a car plowed into the side of the building.

A 92-year-old man was at the wheel when his vehicle crashed into the busy restaurant on Nova Road.

The driver wasn’t hurt, but the cook said a customer had just left the damaged seating area.

Investigators think Charles Pierce stepped on the gas instead of hitting the brake while trying to park, but instead of panicking and amid all that debris, he calmly got out of the sedan and placed his order.

The driver asked if anyone was hurt. There was very minor injury, but once Pierce was sure all was well, he dug in to his breakfast.

He was cited for reckless driving.
