The Homestead Sleep Pittsburgh mattress store on E. Eighth Avenue is boarded up but open after a car pummeled through the business early Friday morning.
The crash shattered the store’s front windows and damaged the door frame. It happened around 2:30 a.m.
The store owner, Vincent Snyder, rushed to his business when he heard about the crash.
The car just missed a utility pole and came to a stop on the sidewalk.
“So, the damage looks like there were five different panes of windows that were broken out,” said Snyder
Snyder says it’s a close call, given the area in front is a bus stop. It’s a busy intersection.
“That time of day, there are a lot of people that stand here and wait for the bus,” said Snyder. “It looks like they may have just clipped the edge of the telephone pole and then went into the building.”
Homestead Police say one person was taken to the hospital. There’s no word on their condition.
Investigators are reconstructing how it all happened.
