An 89-year-old man driving in Malaysia accidentally crashed his car into a roadside eatery.

A video uploaded on Facebook by a passerby showed his Perodua Myvi stalled right where the food was displayed, with customers skirting around it to order their food.

Instead of getting enraged, the store's owner offered the elderly driver a free meal to calm his frazzled nerves.

Drive-through

According to Sin Chew Daily, the incident happened at around 11:20am on Sep. 26, at Pinji Centre Point Restaurant in Ipoh.

The elderly man was driving with his wife in the car.

He was trying to park when his foot apparently missed the brake and made contact with the accelerator instead.

This caused his car to lurch forth, crashing into a nearby motorbike and driving into the store.

The car's bonnet hit a counter displaying food.

Part of its back bumper also fell off.

With only minor damages to his vehicle, the motorcyclist was able to ride away.

Even though there were no casualties, the elderly couple appeared shaken.

Comfort food

In an effort to calm the couple's nerves, the store owner offered them a meal.

When the couple wanted to pay before taking their leave, the owner insisted that it was on the house.

He even helped them drive their car out of the eatery.

China Press reported that police later arrived at the scene to investigate.

They left after ensuring that the situation was under control.
