New safety measures were put into place on Tuesday in front of a Newton restaurant after a deadly crash happened there.

The safety barriers were put up in West Newton Square in front of buildings at the intersection where the crash happened.

Police said the driver went straight through the intersection without stopping and crashed into the Sweet Tomatoes restaurant.

Two people were killed and seven others were injured in the crash.

The city of Newton held community meetings after the crash to discuss the intersection.

There is no word on if the driver will be charged.
