FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Two vehicles were involved in an early morning collision in Fort Lauderdale Monday, which sent one of the vehicles plowing into a nearby beauty salon, authorities confirmed.
The crash was reported just before 2:30 a.m. in the 2200 block of East Oakland Park Boulevard.
A Local 10 News crew was at the scene as workers from SWANK Blow Dry Bar were cleaning up the mess that was left behind.
“It’s a terrible situation, but it’s the best case, I think, being at 2:30 in the morning. Nobody was here. There were no clients here, there were no employees here at all,” owner Eric Nashbar said. “Nothing was really damaged inside – it looks bad from the outside, of course. It’s smushed and everything, but we’re going to get it repaired today and we’ll be back in business tomorrow.”
Authorities did not immediately confirm the circumstances that led up to the crash, but Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue officials confirmed that one person was injured and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
No other details were immediately released.
