A quiet night at a gas station became terrifying after a car busted through the building, hitting a woman. A CCTV camera captured the moment.

In the clip a woman, identified by BBC News as Catherine Crawford, of Australia, can be seen walking toward the register with items in hand. Suddenly she turns her head to windows on her right.

Within milliseconds, Crawford disappears under broken glass, thrown to the ground by the impact of the crash.

Astoundingly, the woman escaped injury, according to BBC News.

Medics transported three people in the wrecked car to a hospital for treatment. The fourth occupant, who is thought to be the driver, ran from the scene.
