Truck Crashes into Nail Salon

The bulldozed storefront of Melody Nails looked eerily reminiscent to the Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse in 2009 when a truck driver plowed through the wall.

A pickup truck careened into Friday, bulldozing through the wall in a scene that looked like the shattered in 2009, except there were bottles of perfectly arranged nail polish still standing.

Two people were injured in the 2:50 p.m. accident, said Sgt. Burton Brink of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department . A car cut off a pickup driving westbound on Foothill Boulevard, causing the truck to hit the curb, a tree in the center divider and eventually cross into eastbound lanes and slam into the nail salon, Brink said.

CV's Dep. Michelle Magana witnessed the wreck, but she had not yet filed her report, Brink said, noting he did not know the extent of the injuries. Brink did say that the injuries were not from within the nail salon.
