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.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success
After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone.
Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently.
The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
