All of a sudden, a huge bang scared the crap out of me honestly, the loudest thing I've ever heard. [I] turned around, smoke coming out of the ceiling, [I] walked closer to see what happened and sure enough, car right through the desk at Planet Fitness,” said Jeffrey Orticier, who was at the gym at the time of the crash.
