Car plunges through roof of Guatemalan mall, killing worker and leaving trail of destruction

A car came crashing down inside a crowded shopping mall in Guatemala on Sunday, falling several floors and killing one worker, according to reports.

The vehicle was going “at a very high speed” on one of the upper levels of the Miaflores shopping mall’s parking lot when it crashed through a barrier and fell right in the middle of the Christmas decorated Guatemala City shopping center.

The aftermath of the shocking incident was caught on camera by a mall-goer, according to Storyful.

The footage shows a totaled sedan on its side, sending smoke billowing through the mall as some shoppers stand awestruck and others begin to try and help the driver.

Those brave respondents were able to eventually flip the car onto its wheels and help the driver escape the mangled steel.

The wreckage lay on the ground floor of the mall, near an escalator and a large Christmas tree.

Video shows the car shaped hole in the ceiling through which the sedan came crashing.

A 22-year-old male kiosk worker at the mall died as a result of the crash, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles.

The driver of the car was taken to the hospital but miraculously survived, according to the report.

Three other people were taken to the hospital and at least one person narrowly avoided tragedy, according to the report from Storyful.

“I was shopping with my family and we were passing by just when the accident happened,” Joel Abelino Pereira Cruz told the outlet. “The car literally fell [30 feet] from where I was.”
