Just about 15 minutes before Cee & Cee Department Store in Soundview opened its doors, an SUV came crashing through the storefront.<\/p>\n
Video obtained exclusively by News 12 shows an employee flying across the store, items crashing down and the driver trapped inside.<\/p>\n
The NYPD says the 65-year-old female driver was trying to park her car when she accidentally accelerated through the storefront. She was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The 57-year-old employee was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries to his neck. They are both expected to survive.<\/p>\n
It all happened just before 9 a.m. Tuesday. Fire officials have deemed the building “structurally sound.”<\/p>\n
Witness Lina S. says the car went, \u201cflying into the store.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in shock. I’ve never seen anything like this before,\u201d Linda says.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething like that happening is scary. Anybody could get hurt,\u201d said Cathy Acevedo, another witness. \u201cShe went straight in.\u201d<\/p>\n
