A sports utility vehicle heading eastbound on Dempster Street in Evanston went off the road in front of Panino's Restaurant shortly before 3 p.m. today.
The car knocked over a traffic signal and a tree in front of the restaurant before coming to rest just short of the entrance to the Dempster Plaza shopping center.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the accident. Fire Division Chief Dwight Hohl says no one was injured in the crash.
