Twenty-five people were inside the 32 Degree Barber Shop at the time.

“It was just a normal Saturday of cutting. I finished my client and I was about to put my 10-year-old in the chair,” said Barber Chez Robertson.

The driver hit the 10-year-old who was waiting for a haircut.

“By God’s grace, he reached his hand over the car,” said Robertson.

The boy was expected to recover.

The driver of the SUV was taken to the hospital, but his condition was unknown.

It’s unclear what caused the driver to crash into the businesses or if they’ll face charges.
