OAKLAND PARK, Fla. — A vehicle slammed into a Broward County business early Sunday morning.
It happened just before 7 a.m. at Oriental Rug Care located at 3027 NW 12 Terr. in Oakland Park.
Video obtained by Local 10 News shows smoke coming from the vehicle after the collision.
In the video, someone gets out of the passenger side of the vehicle before pulling out what appears to be the driver.
Another video from inside the business’ break room shows a refrigerator bust open and fly across the room.
Business owner Hassan Ashwas said he received a call from police early Sunday morning, and they were stunned by what they saw in the surveillance footage.
“We looked at our video camera from the house and it showed an accident and cops,” he said.
The business cleans and repairs rugs for customers and wholesalers.
“We wash it here, we put it outside to dry on the sun and we hang it,” said Ashwas.
The area of the business where the rug cleaning happens wasn’t affected, but their garage door and front door were heavily damaged.
“There’s a little bit of structural damage,” said Ashwas. “Our front entrance is right here. It’s destroyed. The window here. And our garage door is bent. We can’t even open it.”
Ashwas worked throughout the afternoon to secure the building and board up the front, but he says they remain open for business.
A police investigation into the cause of the crash remains open.
