Two people were hurt Saturday night after a car ended up on a sidewalk in Midtown Manhattan.

Police say a vehicle was traveling along 51st Street Saturday evening when it jumped the curb and hit the side of a deli at Eighth Avenue.

Fire officials said the driver and a pedestrian were injured.

"We just heard it from our window, a big bang," said one witness. "We didn't really make much of it because we always hear bangs with trucks outside. Actually, our cat had the most reaction out of the whole thing. We were just like 'oh, whatever.' Then, we came outside, and there was a car in the deli."

The pedestrian and driver are both being treated at the hospital.

There is no word on what caused the driver to lose control.
