4 killed, 9 injured after vehicle crashes into Long Island nail salon
Four people were killed and nine others were injured after a minivan crashed into a Long Island, New York, nail salon Friday afternoon.
The vehicle slammed into Hawaii Nail & Spa on Grand Boulevard in Deer Park shortly before 5 p.m.
A witness told NBC New York that the van plowed through the front of the business and almost came out through the back of the salon.
All of those killed or injured were inside the salon at the time, according to Lt. Kevin Heissenbuttel. Some people were trapped in the salon and had to be extricated by emergency services, he said.
A witness said the vehicle had been racing through a parking lot across the street before crashing and “seemingly in a rush,” NBC New York reported, adding that others said the van was trying to get around another vehicle when it drove into the building.
The van was seen racing though a parking lot across the street, NBC New York reported. A witness said it was trying to pass another vehicle when it drove into the building, the station reported.
Photos from the scene showed a gaping hole in the storefront.
The Associated Press reported that a witness said he heard a speeding car and then a “shattering” noise.
“It was a sound that I never heard before,” he said.
The vehicle’s driver was among the injured and transported to a hospital.
The Deer Park Fire Department chief said it was not clear what caused the vehicle to crash into the business.
About 150 firefighters and EMS personnel responded to the scene.

Map: 4.9-Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Louisiana
Note: Map shows the area with a shake intensity of 4 or greater, which U.S.G.S. defines as “light,” though the earthquake may be felt outside the areas shown. The New York Times
A light, 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck in Louisiana on Thursday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 5:30 a.m. Central time about 6 miles west of Edgefield, La., data from the agency shows.
U.S.G.S. data earlier reported that the magnitude was 4.4.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
Source: United States Geological Survey | Notes: Shaking categories are based on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. When aftershock data is available, the corresponding maps and charts include earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days of the initial quake. All times above are Central time. Shake data is as of Thursday, March 5 at 8:40 a.m. Eastern. Aftershocks data is as of Thursday, March 5 at 10:46 a.m. Eastern.
