New surveillance video captured the moment when a car crashed into a longtime Oakland Park business overnight, destroying its entrance and left the owner worried about what comes next.<\/p>\n
The business, Oriental Rug Car, still had damage on Sunday after the car slammed into it.<\/p>\n
NBC6 spoke with the owner, Hasan Ashwas<\/p>\n
\u201cWe turn on the camera and see the mess outside,” he said. “I guess somebody crashed into here.\u201d<\/p>\n
In multiple angles in the surveillance video, the car was seen slamming into the business, that’s been in Oakland for 40 years.<\/p>\n
The SUV destroyed the entrance and sent debris flying.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe frustrating thing is the guy\u2019s insurance,” Ashwas said. “We can\u2019t even find out where it is. There\u2019s no name, no phone number.<\/p>\n
Inside the business, the impact reached the break-room and knocked over a refrigerator and scattered items across the floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we gotta deal with the building, we don\u2019t know if it\u2019s gonna be operating business anymore because two of our entrances are gone,” he said.<\/p>\n
Oakland Park Fire Rescue and the Broward Sheriff’s Office responded to the business, and it appeared that everyone was OK.<\/p>\n
Video also showed the driver walking out of the car.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne little mistake puts six people that work here in jeopardy,” Ashwas said. “Thank God it happened at night and not during the business day.\u201d<\/p>\n
The focus has now shifted to cleanup and whether the 40-year-old business can keep its doors open.<\/p>\n
