Casselberry road‑rage driver smacks car, then crashes into 5 Day Cabinets

A road‑rage confrontation in Casselberry ended with a man crashing into a local business and the building sustaining major damage, officials said. The incident began as a dispute between drivers and escalated into property damage along South Highway 17-92.

Police and fire officials said the incident happened around 2:45 p.m. and began when the man became angry at another motorist, got out of his vehicle and struck the other driver’s car with his hand. He then returned to his own vehicle and accelerated too quickly, causing it to fishtail and slam into the 5 Day Cabinets building located at 3580 South Highway 17-92.

According to Casselberry police, the unidentified driver was the only person injured. The driver was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said. A driver was cited for reckless driving after a ‘road‑rage' confrontation ended with his vehicle crashing into a nearby business, according to Casselberry police. Police said the man was cited for reckless driving and released on a criminal citation so he could receive medical care, authorities said.

Officials told News 6 that the business suffered significant harm. “The building does have serious structural damage,” officials told News 6. The crash struck the front of the 5 Day Cabinets storefront, raising immediate questions about the safety of the structure and potential disruption to business operations at the 3580 South Highway 17-92 location.

For residents and businesses along 17-92, the episode underscores the local risks of aggressive driving. Even mid‑afternoon incidents can quickly affect storefronts, emergency response workloads and traffic flow on a frequently traveled corridor. Casselberry police and fire units responded to the scene; further details about damage estimates and any required structural inspections have not been released.

The city and property owners will likely need follow-up inspections and repair plans before full business operations can resume. Casselberry police will determine next steps in their investigation and whether additional enforcement or charges are warranted beyond the reckless‑driving citation. Residents who witnessed the incident or have video that could assist investigators are likely to be asked to contact authorities as the case develops.

This event is a reminder that isolated confrontations on the road can spill into neighborhoods and commercial strips; expect updates from Casselberry police and 5 Day Cabinets about repairs, safety inspections and any temporary closures in the coming days.
