JFRD: Car crashes into dental office on Atlantic Boulevard

Jacksonville, FL — A car crashed into the Aspen Dental at 11800 Atlantic Boulevard, according to Jacksonville Fire Rescue.

Two patients have been transported to a nearby hospital, JFRD says. One has serious injuries.

Cookie Sistare told Action News Jax she was inside Aspen Dental when the car hit.

She described, “I was just getting some x-rays and as I walked out of the room about 2, 1 foot the car came right through.”

Monday afternoon cleanup crews were dealing with shattered windows, broken door frames and busted walls.

“We were both stepping out to go to another room and it came through. We thought it was like a cabinet falling over – the sound of it and then you see it,“ Sistare said.

Witnesses said the driver was okay.

Officers talked to those who were inside as they attempted to piece together what caused the crash.

Sistare said they are lucky more people weren’t hurt.

“[Those inside] were a little shaken up, but everybody said get out – so we got out," she said.

As of Monday, employees at the dental office said it was unclear when they’d reopen the business.
