We run to the terrace, because one of the girls was sleeping there, we thought she could be crushed. But luckily she was all right. We all got out of the café. There was a guy sitting outside. He probably rolled out of the car and off the roof. And there was petrol leaking from the roof of the terrace," one of the café employees said.
