MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - One person suffered minor injuries when a car slammed into the Lit Restaurant Supply store on Union Avenue late Friday morning.

Officials said the car, a Jaguar convertible, slammed into the store shortly before 11:00 a.m.

"It was almost surreal," store employee Sam Notowich said. "It was like everything happened in slow motion."

The driver of the car suffered several cuts, but no one was seriously injured.

"We're very, very luck that no one was seriously hurt," Notowich said.
