It was a close call for a Taco Bell customer in Florida who apparently prefers his food spicy. Police say he dodged a crash by getting up from his table to grab hot sauce packets seconds before it happened.

Fox 13 in Tampa Bay reported an elderly man crashed his car into a Taco Bell in Winter Haven Saturday afternoon.

Winter Haven Police said 77-year-old Emmanuel Akowuah and his wife were getting ready to leave the fast food restaurant on 3rd Street, around 4:30 p.m. when Akowuah put his car in reverse, and then accidentally back into drive, which caused the SUV to jump the curb and crash into the building.

Police said the SUV stopped about 10 feet inside of the building, according to Fox 13.
