‘What the heck?’: Car crashes into building after driving 80mph in 25mph zone

EDMOND, Okla. (KFOR) — A man driving 80 miles per hour loses control and crashes into an Edmond business. The business owner said she believes drivers race up and down that road. She hopes this is a message: do not speed on 25-mile-per-hour streets. "To me, it was more of a wakeup call," said Sharina Perry. On May 20, Perry got a notification on her Ring Doorbell camera. Dirt from the garden, a tire, and a flashy white car were in front of her business, Utopia Plastix, near 18th and Fretz. "You guys hit our building?" Perry said through the doorbell. "I'm like, 'What the heck?'" Perry told News 4. Perry said she was on alert because it was the same car that had almost hit her as she was leaving her parking lot just minutes before. "I saw you racing down that street," she told them on the Ring. "Because they were going at an extremely high rate of speed," Perry told News 4. "Have the police been called?" she asked the driver and passenger through the camera. "He's calling now," said the passenger on video. Perry said she later learned it was actually the tow truck on the other end. "Dispatch says I was the first call. There was no call that had come in," Perry told News 4. "Were you turning donuts in our lot?" she asked the two men. There was no answer. When she arrived, she saw they were not doing donuts. Instead, the police report showed the driver, Dennis Arnn, told officers he was driving 70-80mph 'before he departed the roadway.' "It starts at the curb over here, and it goes all the way up to your building," News 4 asked Perry. "How far of a distance do you think that is?" "From the grass portion alone, it's almost 300 feet," said Perry. Arnn crashed into a handicapped pole and hit the brick column of the building. "There was never an apology or a concern," said Perry. "Their expression was, 'You don't own the road. And nobody got hurt.'" Perry said she often sees people racing along the street, which is a 25mph zone, lined with businesses. If she hadn't left minutes before, the Arnn's car could have hit her car, or worse, it could have hit her. "This should've been the safe space," said Perry. While the damage to the building is not extensive, Perry said it should be a wake-up call. "You invest in the vehicle, race the vehicle, choose to, but do it in the correct place," said Perry. News 4 called the driver to hear his side of the story. We did not hear back. Edmond police said he was charged with reckless driving.
