At least three people suffered minor injuries Sunday when a vehicle went inside the Whole Foods in Bethesda, Maryland, authorities say. The car damaged the produce section and disrupted grocery shopping.

The car went past the front door and stopped in the back of the produce department of the Whole Foods at 5269 River Road just before noon, according to a Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson.

The driver struck a woman after they lost control for reasons that are still under investigation, according to the Montgomery County Police Department.

The pedestrian had minor injuries, but did not go to the hospital, police said.

There were two occupants in the car who had non-life-threatening injuries, Montgomery County Fire said in initial reports. Neither went to the hospital.
