"All of a sudden, we heard screech, like the car, and then we heard the crashing sound, and we thought it was two cars crashing," said witness Andrea Gonzalez. "Then, all of a sudden, we heard like the ambulance, the fire, and then we came over here and we saw that inside the store, and it was like, 'Oh my gosh.'"
The name of the driver was not released, but police said no one was injured in the crash.
The police said they believe the crash was an accident and that alcohol was not a factor.
