WATCH: Out-Of-Control Box Truck Slams Into East Flatbush Storefront
Two people suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

EAST FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — Dramatic video shows the moment that an out-of-control box truck slammed into the front of a store in East Flatbush.
The footage, published by several news outlets, begins with an otherwise peaceful Thursday afternoon in front of "99 Cent Utica," on Utica Avenue between Church Avenue and Linden Boulevard.
The truck creeps toward the sidewalk, before taking a hard turn toward pedestrians, including a woman directly in its path. She jumps out of the way just as the truck jumps the curb and slams into the wall.
