The impact damaged the Railroad Employees Club, and the crashed car came to a stop outside the Northside Barbershop.

"Plus, you could see the vehicle and the damage to the striking vehicle, and know that there was some impact there, and so detectives and investigators will be looking for cameras up and down Chamberlayne Avenue.
