An EarthCam surveillance camera outside the 15th Street Fisheries restaurant recorded the crash. Steve Messier said he and his son had just been there.

“We were right at the spot where the accident took place,” Messier said. “We feel very fortunate that we decided to leave about 10 minutes before that happened.”

The FWC was investigating the cause of the crash.
