Porsche SUV crashes into Houston barbershop, leaving child injured

Houston, Texas. A serious accident occurred last Saturday, December 14, when a Porsche SUV crashed into the 32 Degrees barbershop, seriously injuring an 11-year-old boy and causing significant damage to several businesses in the area.

According to witnesses, the day was going on normally at the barbershop, with customers chatting and enjoying the usual atmosphere, when chaos unexpectedly erupted. The owner of the barbershop, Darrick Brown, described the scene as “crazy,” after the vehicle went through the premises.

The incident began when the SUV initially collided with another vehicle, before crashing into a nearby church. The vehicle then crashed into walls and damaged other businesses, eventually stopping at a nearby gun store.

A painter working in front of the shop managed to warn people inside the barbershop about the danger, but there was not enough time for everyone to get to safety. Among the victims, the 11-year-old boy suffered serious injuries, including internal bleeding, and was thrown by the force of the impact into an adjoining massage parlor, where he was found by a barber frantically searching for his client.

The owner of the mall, Joseph Rothchild, said the driver of the Porsche, who had just come out of dialysis treatment, may have suffered a medical emergency. According to Rothchild, the driver was conscious after the crash and mentioned vaguely remembering the moments before the accident.

The accident also left a clothing store worker and the driver with injuries that required hospitalization. Although the material losses were significant, the owner of the barbershop expressed relief that the incident was not even more fatal. “It’s one of those unexpected things that just surprises you, man,” he said.

The injured boy and the other victims are receiving medical treatment, while authorities continue to investigate the accident to determine the exact circumstances.
