At least one person was said to be injured Tuesday night after a car crashed into a popular Little Rock restaurant.

Emergency crews were called about 7:10 p.m. to the crash in the 3000 block of West Markham Street, which is just west of Kavanaugh Boulevard.

The passenger car ran off the street and crashed through part of the Oyster Bar. The damage appeared to be confined to office space on the eastern end of the building and not the dining room.

Dispatch records listed the call as an accident with injury, though further details on the wreck weren't clear. Little Rock police did not immediately release an accident report.

It's not the first time a car has hit the same building or crashed into one in the same area.

The Oyster Bar dining area was hit by a vehicle that ran off a snowy road in January. And Pizza D'Action, which sits a block east at the southern base of the Markham-Kavanaugh intersection, has been hit multiple times by vehicles.
