The building's owner provided the surveillance video that caught the vehicle flipping over at lightning speed before it crashed into the fast-food restaurant.

After it crashed, the suspect can be seen on the far left of the vehicle, crouched down, trying to flip the car over.

He even tries to get the two other people seen in the video to help him.

Before the crash, police say the driver appeared to be going northbound, then turns around and heads southbound going an unknown speed before flipping and crashing his car.

Police say he was by himself, and believe the car wasn't his, but rather his girlfriend's parents' car.

If you recognize him, you are asked to call police.

The building suffered structural damage and it could be a while before it reopens.
