Car Crashes 60 Feet Into Occupied Salon In Wallingford: Police

WALLINGFORD, CT — A car crashed through the front door and went about 60 feet into the M. Salon & Spa on North Colony Road in Wallingford on Tuesday morning, according to police.

Police responded around 10:55 a.m. on May 2 to the parking lot of 1114 North Colony Road on the report of a car that collided into a building, according to Sgt. Stephen Jaques.

Arriving officers found a vehicle that was resting approximately 60 feet inside the salon, according to Jaques.

Jaques said customers and staff were in the salon at the time of the crash, but no injuries were reported. No enforcement action was taken, Jaques said.

An investigation found that a gray 2013 Subaru Impreza station wagon was parked in a parking space in front of the salon, when it “suddenly accelerated,” and crashed through the front entrance of the business, according to Jaques.

Jaques said the 79-year-old female driver of the Subaru wasn’t injured.

“The Subaru sustained moderate damage and was towed from the scene,” Jaques wrote in a news release. “The building sustained damage to the front entryway, and to internal components. The building inspector responded to the scene to evaluate the damage to the building.”

Police are continuing to investigate the crash, and anyone with information is asked to call 203-294-2815. Reference case number 23-13325.
