AMERICAN FORK, Utah — One person has been hospitalized and multiple people injured after a pickup truck crashed into a barbershop Friday at an American Fork strip mall.
The accident happened just after 10 a.m. at the Anvil Barber Co.
The Ford F-150 hit the front of the building, causing severe damage to the barber shop, as well as damage to other businesses in the mall.
A barbershop employee was transported to the hospital in serious condition, while two people in the truck at the time of the accident received minor injuries and were treated on scene.
“It was loud, very, very loud. I turned and all the debris, and, you know, dirt, smoke, whatever it was, was just billowing out,” explained Darcy Walters, who works next door to the barbershop.
Walters went over to see if anyone was hurt, only to be met by the barbershop's owner.
"He's hobbling because he couldn't use his left leg, and he was bleeding all over his hand, all cut up and stuff," she detailed, adding that she saw a witness whose head was bleeding and helped him sit.
Following the accident, a gas leak was reported before being fixed by Enbridge crews. Rocky Mountain Power is also at the accident site to work on any power issues.
