BROCKTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A pickup truck involved in a three-car crash in Brockton ended up embedded in a local business, sending debris flying in the process.
Surveillance video captured the moment the vehicle barreled into a Boost Mobile shop at the corner of Warren and Forest Avenues Thursday morning.
The footage showed two workers going about their day when the crash caught their attention, moments before they darted away as debris from the crash came flying into the store.
“I ran back here – it wasn’t gonna do much, but the first thing you think is ‘Run!'” said store owner Claudio Miranda. “You see a dog chasing you? You just run! You don’t know where you’re running to, but you just run!”
Both workers were unharmed, including a staff member who was getting ready to clean the store’s class exterior, which ended up partly shattered.
“The cashier said ‘Jump! Watch out, you’re gonna die!'” I was like, ‘No! Not today!” employee Edson Alved said. “I stayed in the store, just in case anything else happened to the building, (in case) he needed help getting out.”
According to Brockton police, the crash occurred when a truck driver on Forest Avenue allegedly ran a stop light and crashed into an SUV on Warren.
As a result, the truck went onto hit the Boost Mobile store while the SUV crashed into a Honda Civic that had stopped at a red light.
The driver of the Civic was later taken to a local hospital, where details on his condition have not yet been released.
Meanwhile, the truck driver, a 21-year-old from Dorchester, was cited for failing to stop, police said.
By noontime, the scene had been cleared by authorities as the store owner worked to board up the damage to his business and continue operating.
