A little girl and her aunt were sitting in a nail salon next door when the accident happened. They said that the crash rocked the building.
"So we're getting our nails done and all of a sudden, we hear a boom," she said.
Alcohol isn't believed to be a factor, but police took the driver home as a precaution.
"I thought it was like a car accident, but I didn't know what it was, and then I saw everybody coming up to the door and I was like what?! Oh no, it's an emergency!" a 5-year-old child.
