SUV Crashes into Downtown Springfield Business
Workers spent the morning cleaning up after an SUV crashed into the front of Ozarks Farm Stop, a downtown Springfield business. Ozarks Farm Stop was still able to open for business Friday despite the work.
Founder Karissa Kary said she saw several missed calls on her phone from 1 a.m. and 2 a.m.
“I looked at my phone, I saw I had so many missed calls from like 1 and 2 in the morning, and I wondered what that was,” Kary said.
The calls were from Kary’s building owner, who was letting her know a car had crashed into the front of the business. No one was inside at the time.
People who saw the crash remember the sound and the smell.
“The initial like slam was really jarring, like I’ve never heard anything like that before. The smell of the car fumes and everything was just so overwhelming,” Axel Estrada, who witnessed the crash, said.
Kary said Greene County deputies told her the SUV had been stolen and the driver ran from the scene after the crash.
“We came in this morning to all the glass and everything. They cleared it out there. I mean, I feel really lucky. It looks, I mean, it looks like something happened obviously, but this represents, I bet we got a good 20-plus hours of cleaning into this morning,” Kary said.
Kary said she is still working out the timeline and what it will cost to fully fix the front of the building.
“It’s been a high and low sort of morning and evening. That said though, this is a collective group. This is over 100 producers that maintain a lot of the market share here, so we’ll get through this,” Kary said.
The Greene County Sheriff’s Office said information about the crash is still being gathered. The story will be updated when more information is released.
