Meanwhile, in another equally terrifying scene, a car accidentally drove into a retail store in the United States, injuring two employees. Biting footage of the incident, uploaded by Tempe police, showed two men chatting inside the mall when suddenly a white sedan drove through the storefront and struck the victims before crashing in shopping aisles.

The two men were pushed by the car about 25 feet inside the store. Both were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Tempe police say the crash was caused after the driver inadvertently pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal.
