A minivan slammed into a Long Island nail salon Friday, killing four and injuring 9 people inside the business at the time, a Suffolk County fire official said.
The vehicle came to a stop at the back of the Hawaii Nail & Spa store in Deer Park about 4:40 p.m.
“There were people trapped,” assistant Chief Dominic Albanese of the Deer Park Fire Department told reporters at the scene. “We extricated them and transported them to area hospitals.”
The driver was semiconscious and taken to a hospital, Albanese said.
It was not immediately clear whether the crash was accidental or intentional, officials said. Investigators remained on the scene into the evening.
