The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department and Fire Rescue responded to a car crash on Saturday morning.
Palm Beach Gardens police say a vehicle crashed into the building at the 9000 block of North Military Trail.
The owner of Just Lashes, Susan Green, told WPBF 25 News the car crashed into her salon. Surveillance video from inside the store shows a car crashing into the front entrance of Just Lashes at about 9:48 a.m.
“Unfortunately, a client who pulled into the handicapped space did not stop and she actually entered the salon through the front door,” said Green. “It’s unfortunate that it happened but nobody got hurt so we are very thankful for that.”
Green says one employee was in the salon at the time of the incident, which was right as the salon was opening.
“I’m just so thankful that nobody got hurt because this is a busy strip plaza and there are a lot of people here and if there are people inside or outside the salon it could have been worse. Thank God the car hit the column and stopped the car from actually entering through the salon,” said Green. “I was very nervous and a little shaken up for sure.”
Crews have boarded up the front entrance and Green says she expects the landlord will repair the damage in the coming weeks.
Investigators say the driver of the vehicle accidentally hit the gas pedal while at the strip mall causing minor damage to the front of the building. Green says the driver is a client who was attempting to park when she accidentally pressed the gas.
No injuries were reported.
The employee who was at the salon at the time of the crash was Tracy Katsuyama, who was in the back of the store when the collision happened.
“I’m just really grateful to be alive and I’m grateful that our client is OK,” said Katsuyama. “it is definitely scary to think about.”
