"Surveillance video showed the black Honda Civic jump the curb and slam into the side of a building, splitting the car into two pieces and scattering debris across the roadway. It plowed through garbage bags set on the sidewalk and narrowly missed a U.S. Postal Service mailbox. The impact left the intersection littered with trash among the wreckage. "This is crazy -- crazy and other words that you can't put on camera," one resident said after waking up to the damage."
"According to police sources, the car, which had a TLC livery license plate, had been left running at Regent Place and Flatbush Avenue, about a mile and a half north of the crash scene. "A car just flew past me, it literally flew so fast that my whole car shook," one witness said. "This could've been a lot worse. He hit a building where people live," said another. "People could've been coming out of their house.""
