Man Accused of Crashing Car Into Steakhouse and Killing Family Members As They Ate.

A North Carolina man is at the center of a bizarre, tragic incident at a steakhouse outside of Charlotte. Roger Self — a 62-year-old former cop turned businessman — took his family to lunch yesterday at the Surf & Turf Lodge in Bessemer City. According to the Gaston Gazette, Self had started his meal at a table with his wife, daughter, son, his son’s wife, and their 13-year-old daughter.

When he got up suddenly, the family reportedly figured it was to use the restroom, but police say a couple moments later, Self’s white Jeep came careening through Surf & Turf Lodge’s exterior wall, and crashed into the table where his family was seated, killing his daughter (Katelyn Self) and daughter-in-law (Amanda Self), and injuring his wife, son, and granddaughter.
