Hair Salon Horror: Car Crashes Into Pittsburgh-Area BoRics

Eight people were injured in the Tuesday incident in Brentwood Towne Square.

PITTSBURGH, PA - Eight people were injured, two critically, when a car smashed through the front of a BoRics hair salon in Brentwood Towne Square Tuesday.

Among the injured was the driver of the car, a 58-year-old man. One person was found pinned beneath the car when emergency responders arrived on the scene shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Although the incident happened a day after a van driver allegedly struck and killed 10 people in Toronto, police said the BoRics incident did not appear to be intentional.
