SUV plows through spa

A spa owner says she'll have to rebuild her business from scratch after a driver crashed into the building.

"It went right from the very front to the very end of the entire business," said Sandra Jimenez, owner of Su Casa Spa and Laser, of the crash that happened Saturday night. "Pretty much everything's ruined."

The SUV was driven through the store's front wall and came to a stop near the back destroying pieces of equipment along the way, CTV News reports.

"We have to completely redo the spa again," Jimenez said. "My main concern right now is none of that, really. I'm concerned about my staff. I have nine girls that depend on this job. You know, it's a small community. Everybody comes here. I'm concerned about my staff and clients."

No one was inside the store at the time of the crash, and the driver also walked away uninjured, Jimenez said, adding that she believed the driver may have been intoxicated.

"It's a good thing that nobody got hurt," she said. "There's nobody here, but you know, you just turned my life upside down."
