An SUV crashed into Revive Nails and Spa on Battleground Avenue in Greensboro on Wednesday morning, trapping a person inside the vehicle before firefighters pulled them free. The person was conscious and breathing when crews freed them from the wreckage.
Greensboro EMS received a call about the crash at 11:18 a.m., according to WFMY News 2, which reported the SUV struck the salon at 3912 Battleground Avenue. Dwayne Church of the Greensboro Fire Department said one person was trapped inside the vehicle when crews arrived on scene.
Firefighters Free Trapped Driver
Church said firefighters worked to free the trapped person, who remained conscious and breathing throughout the extrication, per the same account. By 11:51 a.m., Church said the scene was under control.
Accounts differ on what happened medically after that point. WFMY's reporting states that one person was taken to the hospital, while Guilford County EMS told WXII that no one was treated or transported from the scene. The discrepancy between the two accounts has not been resolved.
Salon Says No One Else Was Hurt
An employee at Revive Nails and Spa confirmed that no customers or employees inside the business were injured in the incident, the WFMY report notes. The cause of the crash and the condition of the person reported taken to the hospital have not been released.
This is not the first serious crash reported on Battleground Avenue this year. On May 30, Greensboro police, firefighters and Guilford County EMS responded to a crash with injuries on Battleground Avenue near Lake Brandt Court, according to myfox8.com. In that incident, 70-year-old Patricia Eastburn Boswell was driving a Lexus SUV south on Battleground Avenue when she experienced a medical emergency and crashed; she later died from complications of her injuries, the outlet reported.
No further details on Wednesday's crash, including what led the SUV to strike the nail salon, have been made public.
