The two passengers suffered minor injuries. No other injuries were reported, and Lee did not detail what led to the car leaving the road.
A manager at the restaurant declined comment Wednesday.
The driver, Traci Renee Chaffee of Isanti, Minn., was arrested on suspicion of criminal vehicular operation, Lee said. The jail log says she was drunk a the time of the crash. Charges are pending.
