Wild video shows the moment a speeding pickup truck smashes through a terminal at a Florida airport — narrowly missing two airport employees behind the counter.

Juan Monsivis was driving with a canceled license when he allegedly plowed his 2015 GMC Sierra through a cinder-block wall and into the baggage carousel area at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport just before 3 a.m. Thursday, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

The harrowing recording shows debris flying all over the place as the white truck barrels toward the National Car Rental counter — where two workers are standing.

One of the employees is in the middle of sipping her coffee when she suddenly ducks out of the way as the truck careens toward her. Neither worker was injured.

Police attempted to pull Monsivis over on US 41 for driving in a “reckless manner” but he fled and headed toward the airport. He blasted through a chain-link fence on airport property and flew down a utility road before smashing through the terminal.

Monsivis suffered serious injuries. It’s unclear whether he was wearing a seat belt at the time.

Airport president and CEO Rick Piccolo told the Herald-Tribune that the terminal was relatively empty because the final flight of the night landed about 20 minutes before the crash.

He said at least $250,000 in damage was caused, including to three luggage conveyor belts.

Florida Highway Patrol is investigating.
