Security video at a popular sushi restaurant in Studio City captured the moment a driver in a white sedan came crashing through the building before coming to a stop in the dining room Monday.
Crews with the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to Akira Sushi, located at 11820 W. Ventura Blvd., at around 1:35 p.m.
The surveillance camera also showed smoke billowing out of the passenger-side door as a person opens it and climbs out of the vehicle. They are then seen stumbling out of the restaurant and fleeing the scene.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told KTLA the motorist was traveling westbound on Ventura Boulevard when the crash occurred. Police did not say what led up to the crash or if any other vehicles were involved.
There were no injuries, but LAFD deployed an urban search and rescue team to help remove the vehicle from the inside of the restaurant, officials said.
Crews from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety were called in to assess the damage done to the structure.
Police are searching for the suspect, who appeared in the video to be wearing a house-arrest ankle monitor.
