Trader Joe's because a car accelerated into the store Thursday afternoon. Four people were taken to the hospital, officials say.
The fire department said one person refused medical treatment. The number of people injured was initially thought to be five, but CHP said the number injured was actually eight total. CHP said some of those injured were not hit by the car and that there were projectiles involved when the car plowed through the store and hit merchandise.
"I saw something coming into the store. I moved backwards and at that point, some guy grabbed me very strongly and pulled me back, so I was out of danger. Had I not moved fast enough, I might have been hit by the car," said Lani Borges, a witness.
