Shocking video shows a car taking flight across a busy New York intersection, narrowly missing cars and pedestrians as it smashes into scaffolding outside a Buffalo Wild Wings.
The SUV was heading east on Main Street in White Plains when it veered right, hit an island and went airborne as it crossed the northbound lanes of Mamaroneck Avenue on Monday afternoon, according to the shocking clip shared by White Plains Public Safety.
The Acura MDX came within feet of hitting three people who were standing on the island at the time and fortunately missed several others walking on the street as it burst through the scaffolding and came to a rest outside of the restaurant.
“Miraculously, no pedestrians were struck despite heavy foot traffic in the area and the driver was not seriously injured,” the department said.
The driver, an 80‑year‑old man from Long Island, was the only person in the vehicle and is in stable condition at a hospital, according to News12 Westchester.
“The car pretty much T-boned the building, it was ridiculous,” White Plains resident Annika Venning told the outlet.
“It’s honestly a miracle that no one got hurt,” she added.
Police are investigating whether a possible driver or mechanical error caused the crash, which happened around 4 p.m.
The car was removed about four hours later and Buffalo Wild Wings remained open for business.
Crews have since been making repairs to the scaffolding, News 12 reported.
