"I heard this screechin', smashin' and crashin', all kinda racket," said eyewitness Isaac Rivera.

There's no sound on the surveillance recordings of 19-year-old Adam Kahin's car as it crashed into the Altamonte Mall on Monday night, but the pictures speak volumes.

On several different cameras, Kahin slammed into a second-floor mall entrance and barreled through a perfume kiosk. Eventually, Kahin's car hits the railing next to the escalator and tumbled onto the floor below.

The mall had closed for the day, but plenty of employees were still closing up shop when some thought they were under attack.

Kahin was seriously injured in the crash and rescuers had to cut him from the vehicle. He told police he had been trying to commit suicide and was immediately placed in protective custody.

Paperwork on the crash has been filed with the State Attorney's Office, and it will be up to them to decide whether Kahin will face criminal charges.
