4 people hurt after a vehicle slammed into a barber shop in Belmont Shore (Long Beach, CA)

Four people were hurt after a vehicle crashed into a barber shop Wednesday morning in Belmont Shore.

As per the initial information, the authorities actively responded to the 200 block of Covina Avenue, just off Second Street at about 10:21 a.m. on reports of a single-vehicle crash. Matt Edwall, a long-time employee at the barbershop, was sitting outside American Vintage Barbershop in Belmont Shore Wednesday morning when a white sedan suddenly came smashing through the front of the business, causing injuries to multiple people inside.

Moments after the accident happened, witnesses rushed to the scene and removed a woman who was pinned between the car and the wall. The early reports showed that three people inside the barbershop incurred minor injuries. However, three victims refused medical treatment. The driver, who police say was operating the vehicle in the parking lot next door before slamming into the building, also had minor injuries and refused medical treatment.

There were no signs of impairment, officers mentioned. Edwall said that the driver was not speeding before ramming into the business for unknown reasons. A small portion in the 200 block of Covina Avenue was shut down for two hours while crews worked at the scene. The car reportedly ended up mostly inside American Vintage Barber shop. No other details are available.

The incident remains under review.
