ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Surveillance video from Borillo’s Pizzeria shows a car flipping onto its top, after hitting a parked car in St. Augustine.

It’s a sight that caught the eye of businesses and bystanders as they walked along the busy San Marco Avenue on Sunday.

First Coast News obtained the surveillance video from the pizzeria. 

Employees inside said the occupants, a woman and her dog, made it out safely.

The employees said crashes like these happen often, because this is a busy area and people tend to not follow the 25 mph speed limit.

Jack Denault was just arriving at Borillo’s pizzeria to clock in for his Sunday shift, when he noticed a car upside down in the middle of the street.

 “I saw the video and I was like Christ almighty,” said Jack Denault, “This is terrible. I said ‘oh my gosh, there’s no way this happened,’ because it was just a regular Sunday.”

Evie Wade works next door at the St. Augustine Scoop and also couldn’t believe her eyes.

 “I’ve never seen nothing like that in my life,” Wade said. “An accident that crazy to happen right outside. It’s crazy.” 

In the video, it appears that the black car hit a parked car then flipped onto its top. 

Denault says he saw the woman and her dog make it safely out of the car. In the surveillance video, you can see first responders and bystanders quickly respond to the crash to help everyone inside. 

“Everyone seemed to be okay,” he said, “The people were hanging out in front of the pizzeria for the entire evening.”

With a front row seat to the cars that pass outside the pizzeria’s window, Denault said he’s seen his fair share of accidents. 

“The streets are super small and no one knows where they’re going,” he said.

His advice to drivers in this busy tourist town is to take heed to the road signs and be mindful of one another. 

“I think people should definitely slow down a little bit and just try to see where they’re at. Nine times out of 10 people are looking for parking,” said Denault. “So they’re driving and looking.”
