VIDEO: Jaguar Smashes Into Store on Van Nuys Blvd.

The store, Dr. Blue Jeans, was closed when the car crashed into it. No one was seriously injured.

A Red Jaguar smashed through the window of the Dr. Blue Jeans store at 4454 Van Nuys Blvd. in Sherman Oaks just after 4:30 p.m. Monday. The store was closed at the time.

The driver of the 2002 Jaguar, Allie DeMatoff, said she lost control of the vehicle as she was pulling out of a parking space at the mini mall and her shoe came off. The Encino resident said she and her grandson, a passenger in the car, were not hurt.

DeMatoff described what happened to Sherman Oaks Patch Editor Doug Kriegel in this video.
