A woman received injuries to her face in a bizarre single-car crash in the drive-thru lane at an Auckland fast-food restaurant.
The woman was injured when she was thrown from her car at the Mt Roskill KFC in Hillsborough Rd at 10.15pm last night.
Police said she was buying food at the drive-thru in her car when she dropped her Eftpos card on the ground.
She opened the car door to pick it up - but her foot accidentally hit the accelerator and the car lurched forward and hit a footpath, ejecting her from the vehicle.
She sustained facial injuries and was taken to hospital.
Police said alcohol was suspected to be a contributing factor in the crash.
The Serious Crash Unit is due to inspect the vehicle today.
