Car crashes into Pontiac women's clothing store

Witnesses: 'It sounded like an earthquake'

Pontiac – The Moshita Fashion store in The Oakland Pointe Shopping Center became an instant drive-in at 1pm Saturday Afternoon.

Store owner Marjorie Manns had been in the front with a customer then went to the back and says "I heard all this noise like an earthquake was happening and I came running from the back."

She tells Local 4 she saw a full-size white SUV like a Chevy Trail Blazer drive about halfway into the store.

Then she saw an older lady passenger get out, with a walker and walk to the front of the store.

"She walked right through the window, all that broken glass, she went right through it!" says Manns.

But the woman driver wanted to get out as fast as she drove in, shifted into reverse and backed out.

She picked up her passenger and drove off with two flat tires.

Several shoppers witnessed the crash and the escape and called 9-1-1 with the license plate number.

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office is on the case.

Investigators tell Manns, they found the woman driver at her home and arrested her.

They told her she has a record.

Nobody was injured.

"I've never been through this, never experienced anything like this. This is a Kodak moment for me!" And Manns says the damage to the store and merchandise will be tens of thousands of dollars.
