‘It was very gut-wrenching’
What's next:
Angela Wilson, the pawn shop's manager, said this isn't the first time a car has sped around the curve near her store.
"It was very gut-wrenching," she said.
Wilson said an alert this morning from her pawn shop's surveillance system grabbed her attention.
"The alarm started going crazy as far as the detection on the cameras, so I logged on to see what it was and, yeah, very bad accident," she said.
"My reaction was there's no way that person survived," she added. "This curve is very notorious for people speeding or doing whatever they're doing, and I've come in numerous times and the outcome wasn't as good."
