The car, which was said to have been speeding, hit a median before crashing into a dental office at about 5:30 AM. Excess speed is believed to have been the reason behind the car going airborne before crashing into the small office building.

A minor fire is said to have erupted after the mishap while one of the occupants of the car was still stuck inside. The second occupant was later pulled out by the firemen at the site. The car was removed from the building the next morning using a crane and a fork lift after the vehicle was stabilized.
