Video shows driver collide with parked car, sending cars crashing into Massachusetts store

Two cars crashed into the storefront of former Boston Market in a dramatic accident after a moving vehicle collided with a parked car in Saugus, Massachusetts.

The accident occurred as a 62-year-old man driving a Volvo at high speed crashed into an unoccupied Toyota Prius on Monday night causing both vehicles to flip into the fast casual restaurant, Saugus police said.

The Volvo's driver was the only person involved in the accident, said the police. He was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. An update on his condition is not yet known.

Moving at high speed
