AT least eight people have been injured after a car plowed into a showroom in Los Angeles.
Unbelievable footage captured of the carnage shows the SUV reversing into the building as a terrified employee runs for their life.
Two individuals sustained critical injuries at the Inglewood dealership, while the remaining six were reported to have minor injuries, as confirmed by LA County Fire Department representative Jonathan Torres.
More shocking footage captures the car pivoting in the lobby area of the showroom before driving out of the opposite side of the building.
Glass coated the showroom floor after the vehicle initially crashed through the entrance while terrified bystanders watched on in horror.
The showroom company CarMax said the deranged driver was a customer whose vehicle had been appraised.
He was later arrested for the horror plow.
The company said: “We appreciate the authorities’ swift response to this terrible event.”
The terrifying incident was initially reported as an active shooter situation, but spokesperson Torres said that this didn’t end up being the case.
Inglewood is around 10 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles.
It comes after a news reporter was run over by a car as she was filming a live broadcast.
WSAZ-TV reporter Tori Yorgey was reporting on a severe weather report in West Virginia and speaking with news anchor Tim Irr in the studio.
The live exchange was cut short however when a silver truck drove into Tori, knocking her to the ground.
A stunned Tori was able to pick herself up as she can be heard saying: “Oh my God, I just got hit by a car but I’m OK.”
To which her news co-host Tim replied: “That’s a first for you on TV, Tori.”
Tori reassured viewers that she was ok and wasn’t injured and added: “That’s live TV for you.”
As the clip continued, Tori was also heard telling the woman who drove the truck into her that she was alright.
While the incident happened three years ago, Tori has now marked the anniversary.
On Instagram she reshared the viral video as she wrote: “Shoutout to cousin Mikey for reminding me yesterday was my ‘anniversary’ of this gem.”
