A dramatic 100 mph car wreck in Leesburg, Florida, caused a Jaguar to flip over and land against the side of a veterinary clinic.

According to a source, a teenager driving his “daddy’s” Jaguar at an estimated 100 mph was critically hurt after colliding with an SUV and flipping onto the side of a Florida veterinary clinic.

When he was removed from the wreckage on Monday by workers from a nearby vehicle rental company, the 18-year-old was heavily bleeding and kept saying, “my dad’s car.”

In Leesburg, the high-speed collision occurred at approximately 6:25 p.m. near the intersection of Martin Luther King Drive and US Highway 441.

Surveillance footage reveals that the Jaguar was speeding when it collided with a Cadillac Escalade, creating a cloud of debris in its aftermath. The hit forced the luxury vehicle to flip over and come to rest against the Northgate Animal Clinic on its roof, with one of its wheels imbedded in the wall.

The accident occurred when no one was inside the veterinary clinic, but it affected its phone and internet access.

The driver was saved by Ken Hutcheson, owner of Champions Rentals, who described him to the Daily Commercial as a Spanish-speaking 18-year-old who claimed the expensive vehicle was his father’s.

Hutcheson reported that when he helped the young man out of the wrecked automobile, the driver was not wearing a seatbelt even though he did not smell alcohol on him.

The teen was transported to a hospital. Wednesday, his status remained uncertain.

The air bags in the Cadillac that was involved in the initial crash were activated, but the good Samaritan reported that the people inside did not appear to be wounded.
