On Monday, Matthew Wurzer was sitting in his living room in his second-floor apartment on the corner of Farwell and Lafayette.
That's when he heard the sound of a car swerving.
"The building kind of shook a little bit and we're like 'Oh somebody hit the building," Wurzer told TMJ4 reporter Brendyn Jones.
When Wurzer looked out of his window, he saw a black car that had crashed into The Lafayette Place, the restaurant on the first floor of his building.
Police say the accident happened around 11:35 a.m.
While they are still investigating, building owners and Wurzer tell me witnesses said the car crashed into the building after trying to avoid another car that had cut them off in front of the restaurant. They say that the car fled the scene.
