Fire officials say a car crashed into a gas station booth in Mott Haven early Sunday morning.
Surveillance video from 138th Street appears to shows a woman smashing a Chevy Equinox into the booth. Police have identified the woman as 22-year-old Santa Moyo.
Jonah Johnston, who was injured when the car hit the booth, says if it wasn't for a brick wall he may have not survived.
The video also appears to shows Moyo attempting to drive away from the scene. Police say they were able to catch her later.
Jaber Chowdhury, who was working at the booth, says he believes the woman was drunk.
Moyo was arrested for DWI and leaving the scene of an accident.
Johnston says he went to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln after the crash.
