The driver was transferred to a nearby hospital and is in stable condition, as reported by Need To Know.
Two others caught up in the accident were also taken to hospital. No one sustained serious injuries.
The incident occurred on Sunday (November 17), in the Miraflores shopping centre, located in Guatemala.
One woman can be seen being carried by others.
While she is conscious, it appears that she may have injured her lower body.
She breaks down into tears from the shock.
People were stunned that the driver managed to escape the situation with his life, despite the severe impact of the crash.
Onlookers can be seen reacting in the video.
Two people put their arms around each other as they looked on in horror.
Other clips show the giant hole which was left in the ceiling, along with the mess on the ground in the aftermath.
Details on exactly how the crash happened have been released by Amílcar Montejo, the traffic mayor of the capital city in Guatemala.
The crashed vehicle was in the centre’s car park, which is on the fourth floor.
It was there where the driver supposedly lost control behind the wheel.
The ground where the car was parked would have sunk, which caused the safety barrier holding it to be broken, leaving it to come crashing through the floor.
A statement from the shopping centre said: “We are carrying out the necessary investigations to determine the exact causes of the accident and why the driver lost control of his vehicle.
“In addition, the shopping centre said it is working together with the authorities to assess the damage and ensure the safety of visitors.”
