Lester Smith was one of the employees inside when the crash happened, he said he was sitting in his office when he heard it.
"Sitting there eating, everyone's on lunch break and all of a sudden I heard a big boom! I looked out and there was nothing on the floor, nothing blew up out there, so I came out of my office - and there's a car inside the building, it went right through the building." said Smith.
Speed is being considered as a factor.
The accident remains under investigation by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
