HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - Rescue crews took one person to the hospital after an SUV slammed into a Hollywood business during the overnight hours.
Hollywood Police units responded to the scene of the crash at the Ultimate Pet Grooming & Spa, along the 100 block of North 17th Avenue, near Hollywood Boulevard, early Sunday morning.
Police said they received a call about at around 3:40 a.m.
“I was laying in bed, and we heard one of these common crashes,” said area resident Joyceus Newman. “This was one of the loudest ones.”
Responding officers arrived to find the SUV inside the building.
“It’s crazy, and it’s honestly a little bit unbelievable,” said bystander John Young.
Investigators said the driver was extricated from the vehicle and transported to Memorial Regional Hospital. The patient was conscious during transport.
“It’s wild, it’s surreal,” said Young. “As someone who’s been in a handful of accidents, it makes me really feel for the people that are in it.”
Cameras later captured part of the business boarded up.
The SUV was later towed away from the scene.
The crash remains under investigation.
