FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A Fort Lauderdale cellphone repair store got a rude awakening after a car crashed into it overnight.
The owner of MobileLuv Kevin Killoran received the call after the car came barreling into the store, located near East Oakland Park Boulevard, at around midnight, Tuesday.
The window’s storefront was smashed in and there was large damage left behind Wednesday evening.
“It could have been bad. Honestly, it could have been bad,” he said. “Nothing we can’t fix. Well, we can’t fix it. We fix electronics and phones, but we’re calling the guys that can fix storefronts and furniture and flooring, and we should be back in business.”
No one was injured in this case.
Police said that the crash was an accident. “We have a busy intersection here in Oakland Park and U.S. 1, and we often joke that one of these days somebody is going to come plowing through the front, and it happened last night,” Killoran said.
A 7News viewer took a picture from inside the store with the damage, showing broken glass everywhere and counters crushed.
“It was a bit of a mess. We got fluid from cars and mirrors,” Killoran said. “I could tell it’s a Honda because there’s a Honda [logo part] here.”
Nothing was stolen.
The driver was arrested on an unrelated issue.
