An alleged drunk driver in New York careened through a nail salon at top speed ... and, the unbelievable moment was caught on video.
The shocking clip -- published by the New York Post -- shows the car speeding out of a Long Island parking lot late last month, but instead of turning onto the main road, it dashes straight across the street toward a strip mall.
The car jumps the curb and keeps on moving, before eventually crashing into Hawaii Nail & Spa ... reportedly killing four people including an off-duty NYPD officer, and injuring nine others.
Photographers took snaps of the crash's aftermath ... with the car still sitting in the nail salon -- having destroyed everything in the small storefront.
Steven Schwally was arraigned on DWI charges earlier this month and has a court appearance next week, according to the Post.
