A jewelry store in Parma, OH, was damaged when it was struck by a car.

Independence police had been chasing the car, which hit Koorey’s Jewelry at around 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 24, WJW reported. Police said they had halted the chase prior to the crash happening, and they did not see the incident.

Before the crash, the car had driven through yards and a parking lot, then flipped onto its roof. The car hit a wall of the jewelry store and caused foundation damage, police said.

Inside the store, a wall reportedly caved and destroyed the showroom.

Authorities say the car had been stolen in a carjacking two days prior to the jewelry store incident, according to WJW. During the chase, it reached speeds of 100 miles per hour.

Officers pulled the driver from the wreckage and he was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center for treatment, WJW reported.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
