Neighboring business owners say they feel for everyone involved, and had the crash happened last nigh, the outcome could have been even more traumatic.

“There always are cars because there are people that live up there, so there’s always cars parked on both sides of the street. So it could’ve been a lot worse. There probably could’ve been two or three cars right here,” said Cloressa Gracie, owner of Jordan’s Donuts.

Channel 11 is checking with police to get an update on their conditions and if any charges will be filed.
