A pharmacist had just sat down with a patient when the walls exploded around them.
A car, driven by a 24-year-old man, slammed into a pharmacy in Fellsmere blowing out walls, breaking equipment, and halting the normalcy of a routine day at the store.
The pharmacist was in the room next door when he heard a loud boom and then watched helplessly as the room where he has kept all his pharmaceuticals for more than two decades broke apart.
“I looked up, and there’s a car all the way through the building,” he said. “Thank God no one was in that room. They all would have died.”
Five people in the store were injured in the crash, including the car’s driver and three of his friends. None of the injuries were life threatening, a doctor that works at the pharmacy said.
A customer who was in the restroom at the time of the accident was nearly pinned against a sink when the car crashed into the building, while another person was inches from getting covered by a crumbling wall, according to another customer.

The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office said a deputy was struck by a motorcyclist while doing traffic control in southern Palm Beach County.
The incident occurred at Kimberly Boulevard and State Road 7 in suburban Boca Raton.
State Road 7 between Glades and Yamato roads was closed for a time but has since reopened.
PBSO said both the deputy and the motorcyclist were taken to local hospitals. The deputy is still hospitalized with serious injuries. The motorcyclist only suffered minor injuries.
According to PBSO, the deputy was working traffic enforcement and obtained a speed reading of 97 mph on the motorcyclist in a 45 mph zone. He stepped into the center lane and waved the driver to pull over.
According to witnesses, the deputy had been in the roadway for more than enough time for the rider to see him and stop. The deputy was wearing a neon green reflective vest at the time.
PBSO says the rider slowed and tried to drive around the deputy, but at the same time the deputy feared the rider was going to run him over and moved slightly to his right.
The motorcyclist hit the deputy then attempted to abruptly stop which caused the motorcycle to overturn.
He was booked into the Palm Beach County jail for reckless driving resulting in serious bodily injury, no driver’s license, driving without a motorcycle tag, and driving an unregistered vehicle.

A Davie police sergeant was struck by a car while assisting in another crash on Interstate 95, Florida Highway Patrol reports.
A Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson told the Sun Sentinel that a police sergeant had stopped south of Royal Palm Boulevard in Broward County. As she walked along the paved shoulder of the southbound lane, she was struck by a passing car.
The Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson said the driver had swerved to avoid the patrol car and ended up on the shoulder where the sergeant was walking. The driver was cited for careless driving.
The earlier crash that the sergeant had stopped for involved a rollover. The driver of that vehicle was charged with driving under the influence.
The 37-year-old driver of the car which had struck the Davie police sergeant was still at the crash scene cooperating with Broward County police and the Florida Highway Patrol.
The details of the accident are still unclear, but it is believed the 37-year-old driver wasn’t under the influence of either alcohol or drugs.
