CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Two people were hospitalized after a car drove into a building in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood on Saturday afternoon.

According to the Cleveland Fire Department, at around 12:54 p.m., crews responded to a report of a car into a building near Kenilworth Avenue and West 11th Street.

Police said the crash involved three vehicles.

Firefighters said there were no serious injuries, and EMS took a 61-year-old and a 64-year-old to the hospital.

One person fled the scene and is presumed to have been the driver, Cleveland Fire told 19 News.

19 News has now obtained surveillance video of the car crashing into the Corner 11 Bowl & Wrap restaurant.

The dramatic video captures a burnt orange SUV after it slammed into a van obliterating that vehicle’s backend. The SUV then barely misses a car stopped at a stop sign on W. 11th and Kenilworth, and then crashes into a barrier and a metal fence outside of the restaurant. That fence buffered the crash and the restaurant itself suffered a broken window.

Niki Landis a customer of the restaurant was shocked to see the video where two people on the sidewalk barely missed getting hurt, “That just missed them. I was quite shocked to see the condition when we arrived. I’m glad the restaurant was still open.

According to the Cleveland Fire Assistant Public Information Officer John Kearns, there was no major structural damage to the building, and crews returned to service after completing an assessment and securing the scene.

Cleveland Police said the crash is under investigation.
