Surveillance Video Shows Driver Slamming Into Mansfield Bakery
BOSTON (CBS) – Surveillance video from inside a Mansfield bakery shows just how close of a call it was for customers and employees who were in the shop when a car crashed through the front door.
No one was injured Thursday when a 79-year-old woman drove a Toyota RAV4 through the front door of White's Bakery on School Street. Two employees and one customer were inside the business at the time.
"We had glass everywhere," said store manager Tracy Carifa. "The sound is what I remember the most. It was so loud. I was standing back in the kitchen, looked out and saw a vehicle traveling through my store."
Despite heavy damage to the storefront, White's Bakery was only closed for one day of repairs.
Video shows the customer narrowly escaping the front bumper of the RAV4. She reacts quickly and jumps out of harm's way. Despite the scare, the woman was desperate to leave with what she came to the store for.
"She said 'No! I still have to buy my daughter's birthday cake," said Carifa.
The store is still open for business, and soon it'll look back to normal as well.
"It's going to be beautiful again. Give us a couple days. We were grateful no one left with a scratch that day," said Carifa.
