FORT MYERS, Fla. (KABC) -- Shocking video shows a car narrowly miss a 4-year-old girl as it crashed into a tax accountant's office in Florida last week.

The video shows the little girl in the lobby of the building when a car suddenly plows through the office, pinning her beneath the vehicle.

Fortunately, the girl's father was able to pull her out from beneath the wreckage. The 4-year-old is now home and is reportedly recovering from bruises and several broken bones.

According to investigators, the driver of a separate vehicle - a pickup truck - claims the brakes failed while driving in the rain.

That pickup truck hit a parked car, which is the one seen crashing into the building.

The incident remains under investigation.
