"Two killed when car smashes into Newton restaurant" by Travis Andersen, Olivia Arnold and Lauren Fox Globe Staff and Globe Correspondents  March 02, 2016

NEWTON — An SUV plowed into a Newton restaurant Tuesday evening, killing two patrons and seriously injuring three people, officials said.

The two deceased victims were eating at Sweet Tomatoes on Washington Street, Middlesex District Attorney Marian T. Ryan said at the scene. She did not provide their names, ages, or genders because officials had not yet contacted next of kin.
