Inside and near the salon, two women and a boy believed to be 6 to 8 years old were struck by the SUV. The boy and his mother suffered burns and were taken to Harborview, while the third person was hit by debris, but declined aid, Moore said.

Although a few children were involved in the crash (6, 8, and 10-year-olds), all injuries appear to be minor, despite the large amount of damage caused to the building.5 things to do immediately after a serious accident A serious car accident can quickly take over your life.
