A driver plowed through the sign of a UCF-area apartment complex Sunday morning, a security guard at the complex said.
Security guard at the Pointe at Central, Sultan Ashi, said he was walking through the complex at 9:30 a.m. as part of his normal patrol when he heard the crash. He said a woman plowed her silver SUV through the sign of the complex leaving a pile of rubble and cables behind.
Ashi said she appeared to be unharmed in the accident, despite having large slabs of brick on the windshield of the vehicle.
“I couldn’t believe the windshield didn’t break. There were so many bricks piled on top of her car,” Ashi said. “She was really lucky. I mean there are metal cables that could have really hurt her.”
Ashi said the female driver told the Pointe at Central as well as UCF Police she was trying to turn into the complex when her foot slipped and hit the gas.
“She said she was trying to visit a friend who lives here,” Ashi said.
Management at the Pointe at Central could not be reached in time for the publication of this article, but an employee of the complex verified the story saying the woman was unharmed in the accidental crash.
