ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. -- The Altamonte Mall opened for business Tuesday morning after a car smashed through the mall's front doors. Investigators said they believe Monday night's crash was no accident.
It is believed the driver inched his way up to this front entrance then suddenly gunned it, crashing through the front door. But the car kept on going and gave some employees closing up for the night the scare of their lives.
"I feared for my life. It was 10:30. The car comes through the mall and lands on the first floor," said Bill Walls, an eyewitness.

The man who works at T-Mobile in the mall couldn't believe what had just occurred. After the car crashed through the front doors on the second floor, it traveled down the corridor, hit the perfume kiosk, hit the escalator and then the car plummeted to the first floor.
"I heard this screeching, scratching and a crashing car coming down middle of the mall," said Isaac Rivera, an eyewitness who was getting a cup of coffee in the food court.
The T-Mobile worker managed to roll some video on his cell phone right after the accident.
"You can see the kiosk. It hit the escalator and landed in front of Radio Shack. Everyone was asking if he's okay," Rivera explained.
While the driver suffered serious injuries, thankfully no one else was hurt, but it made for quite a story among witnesses.
"I felt like I was in a movie, surreal, unreal," Rivera added.
Police did not release the name of the driver involved.
