'Knightrider' car drives itself into diners on Gouger St in Adelaide The car which apparently started itself before mounting the kerb and hitting diners on Gouger St. Picture: Sam Kelton A WOMAN suffered minor injuries and diners had to jump to safety as a runaway car, reportedly without a driver, crashed into tables outside a city restaurant tonight. The woman was taken for treatment by paramedics shortly after the two-door Toyota showing P-plates crashed into tables on the footpath then rolled along Gouger St into a travel agency about 8pm. Witnesses, including South Australian MP Don Pegler who was having dinner at the adjacent table, said he heard the car alarm deactivate before the car rolled into a table of diners. "I heard the remote control make a sound "woop woop" then the engine engaged and it rolled forward," he said. There was a table full of people and lucky there was enough space and the young lady was pushed forward rather than the car go over her. It could have been a lot worse. Another witness who was nearby heard the screams. "We're out for a quiet dinner and then I heard the screams," he said. I turned around and couldn't believe it - there was a car up on the footpath. He also believed the car was unattended when it mounted the curb. "There was nobody in the car," he said. It was like it was started by a remote control - I really can't believe it.
