SIERRA MADRE, Calif. (KABC) -- Surveillance video captured the harrowing moment when a sedan barreled onto the outdoor dining area at a Sierra Madre restaurant, narrowly missing two pedestrians.

The crash occurred about 5:44 p.m. Wednesday outside The Only Place in Town restaurant in the 100 block of West Sierra Madre Boulevard.
