NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – A 45-year-old woman was hospitalized after a car crashed into the storefront of a convenience store in Northwest Miami-Dade.<\/p>\n
The incident took place at a Kwik Stop at Northwest 111st Street and Seventh Avenue on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video obtained by 7News captures the pickup truck smashing through the front of the building, which had at least five people inside.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd goes all the way. All the way inside my store!\u201d said the business owner.<\/p>\n
The hospitalized woman\u2019s husband, Joseph, said that he was with his wife and two cousins when the truck crashed inside.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of a sudden I heard something, boom!\u201d said Joseph. \u201cLook back and I\u2019m seeing smoke, and I hear the tire was still running.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then said that he found his wife on the floor, screaming for help, and asked them to call 911.<\/p>\n
7News learned that the woman was struck by a video poker machine that fell to the ground when the crash occurred.<\/p>\n
She was quickly rushed to the hospital by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue paramedics, and Joseph said that he is headed over there to be by her side.<\/p>\n
The driver of the truck spoke with 7News right after the crash and explained what happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I tried to back up, the car flipped up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you tried to back up? So maybe you had thought it was in reverse, but it was in drive?\u201d said 7News reporter Sheldon Fox.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d said the driver.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you OK? I\u2019m sorry this happened to you,\u201d said Fox.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything OK,\u201d said the driver.<\/p>\n
\u201cWas anybody else with you in the truck?\u201d asked Fox.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d said the driver.<\/p>\n
The driver showed the path of destruction left inside the store, with several smashed bottles, merchandise, and destroyed shelves.<\/p>\n
After meeting with Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies, the driver was free to go.<\/p>\n
Now, the family is headed to meet their loved one at the hospital, and the store owner is left to pick up the pieces.<\/p>\n
\u201cBig loss,\u201d the owner said.<\/p>\n
The extent of the woman\u2019s injuries is not life-threatening, according to Joseph. The store remained open as of late Tuesday night as the clean up process continues. <\/p>\n
MDSO officials said that it is unknown whether any citations were issued to the driver.<\/p>\n
