FERN PARK, Fla. - One person was injured after a vehicle crashed into a car transmission repair center on Monday, according to officials. 

The Seminole County Fire Department said the crash happened at 8250 S. Highway 17-92 in Fern Park, an AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care location. 

Two SUVs – a Nissan Armada and Hyundai Santa Fe – were headed south on U.S. 17-92 before the accident, according to Florida Highway Patrol. The Nissan wound up rear-ending the Hyundai, and the impact caused the former to run off the road and crash into the side of the AAMCO building. 

The crash caused "significant damage," according to the fire department.

The crash remains under investigation. 

This is a developing story.
