This Jeep lands in the middle of a FedEx store — and a dog is the center of attention

Two people and a dog were injured when a Jeep crashed into a FedEx store in Delray Beach and managed to carve a path all the way inside the building, Delray Beach Fire Rescue reported on April 26, 2018.

A Jeep crashed into a FedEx store in Delray Beach, and not walls, boxes or copiers could halt its momentum. The vehicle carved a path all the way inside the store before it came to a stop under a ceiling-mounted Self Service Copy & Print sign.

The Thursday afternoon crash at the 1911 S. Federal Hwy. branch injured two people who were inside the store — and a medium-sized black dog that somehow found itself trapped under the Jeep.

Delray Beach Fire Rescue treated one of the victims on the scene and transported another to a nearby hospital. The injuries were not life-threatening.

According to the department's Facebook and Instagram posts, rescue crews freed the dog from under the Jeep, and the animal is expected to survive.

No word yet on whom the dog belonged to or how it came to be in the path of the Jeep. The unidentified driver was not injured and Delray Beach police are investigating the accident that happened around noon.
