Around 10:30 p.m. on June 9, a car struck a 7-Eleven employee in the convenience store’s parking lot. The surveillance footage is shocking.

The video above was from a parking lot in Yeadon, Penn. and it shows a young employee, 24-year-old Gejea Ejeta, taking out the trash right before a car hits him, sending him crashing through the store window. A passenger then steps out of the vehicle’s passenger side door, but instead of rushing to see if Ejeta is alright (or alive!) she casually walks in the other direction. The vehicle then backs away as another passenger tumbles out of the backseat, only to hop back in before the car speeds off.

Though the crash looks horrifyingly violent, Ejeta has survived and is reportedly recovering from his leg injuries. And according to NBC Philadelphia, the woman who steps out of the passenger seat in the video has been identified as Tyhese Pitts and has told police that Willaisha Rankins, a 32-year-old nurse, owns the car in the video and was driving at the time of the accident. Police haven’t been able to locate or question Rankins yet, though her car has been found.

But until she’s found or more information comes out on exactly what was going on when this accident occurred, NewsFeed is going to keep watching the video and marveling that Ejeta is still alive.
