A security camera recorded an unsuccessful attempt to tow a car independently in University Place, Washington, where an uncontrolled vehicle collided with the same store multiple times before those trying to tow it left the location.

Pierce County sheriff’s deputies were called to Pho and Teriyaki around 6 a.m. on July 30 after reports that a car had plowed into the restaurant.

The maroon sedan was no longer inside the building but sat abandoned elsewhere in the same parking lot.

Through an investigation that included examining surveillance footage, it was discovered that the sedan’s driver had parked it near AutoZone at the same shopping center around 5:45 p.m. the previous day.

A failed self-recovery effort culminated in a car repeatedly crashing into a restaurant in Pierce County, Washington, on July 30, 2025, as confirmed by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office.

On a third attempt, the driver and a female passenger freed the car, steered it toward the exit, then clipped a retaining wall and curb.

The suspect ultimately gave up and left the vehicle behind before leaving the scene.

Fox News Digital has asked the sheriff’s office whether any arrests or charges have been made.

Still, the restaurant suffered significant damage, the sheriff’s office said, and the crash is being investigated as a hit-and-run.
