” Porsche SUV crashed into the 32 Degrees barbershop on Saturday, injuring an 11-year-old boy and causing chaos among patrons and staff.
“The car came through my shop, man,” said Darrick Brown, the owner of 32 Degrees. He described the scene as a typical busy Saturday before the incident, with people joking and enjoying themselves.
A painter working outside the barbershop had warned those inside about the approaching SUV, which had already collided with another car.
The vehicle then plowed through a nearby church, damaging walls and other businesses before crashing into the barbershop.
“What the—,” exclaimed Brown as the SUV barreled through, sending customers scrambling for safety. Unfortunately, some were not quick enough, and the 11-year-old boy was thrown out of sight.
“Man, it was crazy, man. I was shaken up, man when I turned. I was like, ’cause it’s like the kid just disappeared,” Brown said.
One of the barbers frantically searched for his client, who was later found in the massage parlor next door. The SUV came to a stop in a gun shop two businesses away.
Joseph Rothchild, the owner of the strip center, said the driver was alert and talking after the crash. “He said he remembered backing up and he remembered going forward but after that, he just remembered waking up in the space,” Rothchild said. He added that the driver had just come from dialysis treatment and likely suffered a medical emergency.
The incident, which could have been fatal, left Brown reflecting on the unexpected nature of the event. “I don’t know. It’s just one of them things that happen, man,” he said.
The 11-year-old was treated at the hospital for internal bleeding. A woman in a nearby dress shop, as well as the driver, were also taken to the hospital.” – Fox Antonio | Posted by Thrillz
