A Pasco County small business owner is cleaning up a mess following a crash on New Year’s Eve.
Estella Myers, Owner of Stellie Bellies Trinity Kids, Maternity Resale Boutique, said she received a call from the sheriff’s office on Wednesday night.
“Somebody boarded up our door. Glass is everywhere and today, this morning, we walked in and ready to just start cleaning up and making it a new,” said Myers.
Myers said a crash happened on New Year’s Eve night on State Road 54 near Little Road in Trinity.
A tire flew off a truck and into the glass door of her business.
“About 150 feet away, a tire came flying through, uphill, which is crazy and went through the front door of our business. Our alarm didn’t go off because it rolled through and broke all the glass, and glass went everywhere,” she added.
She said the Pasco Sheriff’s Office called to notify her about the damage. She closed the store on Wednesday and will reopen on Friday, Jan. 3.
She worked with her staff to clean up the mess and remove any baby items that might have been contaminated with shattered glass.
