A Florida man allegedly drove a car through the front doors of a convenience store in Seffner at high speed Tuesday morning, trapping a pedestrian between the car and a metal structure, video footage shows.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said 37-year-old Anthony Katosh drove a Kia Forte into the Travel Centers of America on Gateway Boulevard just before 12:30 a.m. on June 20.
Police said a man walked into the store just as Katosh’s car crashed into the building.
As a result, the man got stuck between the driver’s door of the Kia and a metal construction in the store.

“The footage of the car hurtling through this business and crashing straight into a victim is shocking to say the least,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister, according to Fox 13 Tampa Bay. “It’s an absolute miracle that the person pinned down by the car didn’t suffer more serious injuries, and we’re glad to hear he’s okay.”
