Late-night swings at Topgolf in Oklahoma City took a wild turn Wednesday when a car crashed straight through the side of the Chisholm Creek venue and came to rest inside one of the lower hitting bays around 10 p.m., according to police. Guests and staff scrambled as glass and debris covered the area while emergency crews rushed in. The driver took off but was later tracked down at a nearby restaurant and taken into custody. Topgolf kept its doors open the next day, despite visible damage, and authorities said only the driver suffered a minor injury.
Oklahoma City police said the crash occurred near the Kilpatrick Turnpike and Pawnee Drive when a vehicle barreled into a bottom-level bay.

A photo shared with the station by Vi Ybarra shows the car surrounded by shattered glass in the bay, as reported by KOCO.
