"He went away and didn't seem like he got hurt. Just was insane," Karlee Galcik, an Avis employee, told Channel 11's Erin Clarke.
Surveillance cameras over the door of Avis show the driver heading northbound and turning right on Baldrick Street, which is a dead end. Less than a minute later, the car is seen speeding back before it hits the curb, flips over and crashes.
Police know the car did not belong to the man driving it, because the owner called police.
The driver will be responsible for all of the damage to the building and the car. It's unclear what charges he could face.
