Luckily, no one was injured as a result. The store owner said one customer had just left through the front of the store moments before the car came through it. The entire incident was captured on the store's surveillance cameras.
"I heard a big bang. At first I thought it had something to do with the AC," said owner Khaled Grainawi. "I ran to the front. By the time I reached the front door I saw the whole door down and there was a car that drove into the front facade." First responders said the 40-year-old driver was treated and released at the scene. Policed said the driver claimed he was trying to avoid a cat when he lost control of his car.
"Everyone is lucky there was no one in the front part of the store. This could have been a lot worse," said Villa Park Deputy Police Chief Brandon Mitsuka.
