In a shocking incident, an SUV crashed through the entrance of the Walmart located on Ford Road in Canton, Michigan, at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Friday. The incident was captured on video by witness kyleradams and shared on social media.

According to the police, several people inside the store were injured as a result of the crash. Rescue units from surrounding cities, including Canton, were dispatched to transport the injured to hospital. The exact number and condition of the victims remains unknown at this time.

Canton Police Chief Chad Baugh expressed gratitude towards the bystanders who came to the aid of the injured individuals inside the store. "We had some patrons in the store that weren't hurt that actually assisted us along with our fire department who transported some of the victims of the crash," said Chief Baugh.

Eyewitness accounts describe the terrifying scene inside the Walmart. One employee recounted how the SUV crashed through a service entrance near the pharmacy, causing significant damage to racks, shelves, and displays. The witness revealed being just 15 feet away from the vehicle at the time of impact, separated by a small wall.

Video footage submitted by viewer V Melon showed the black SUV positioned in the middle of the store, close to the dinnerware aisle. Debris, collapsed shelves, and toppled displays could be seen surrounding the vehicle.

The circumstances leading up to the crash are still unclear at the moment, and authorities are investigating the incident. Social media posts from the scene suggest that the vehicle involved may have been a Jeep Cherokee.
