Just a half an hour later the only traces of the car that slammed into the CVS on Lexington Street was the bright yellow caution tape placed on the poles around a significant indentation in the brick facade just below a window.
No windows appeared damaged and a CVS employee was replacing the products that had fallen off the wall during the crash. People inside the CVS reported hearing a loud sound as if a shelf were falling over and saw that a number of items had shaken off the shelves near the front of the building.
