Richardson said it was lucky no one was inside the Hair Port Salon at 6098 Highland Drive at the time of the accident. He said had it happened during the week, the outcome could have been much worse.

Rescuers had to cut the driver out of the pick-up before rushing him to the hospital. His identity has yet to be released.

The cause of the crash is still being investigated.
