Truck crashes into beauty salon in JP
By Dan Muse, Globe Correspondent
Five people suffered minor injuries this afternoon when a truck veered off Centre Street in Jamaica Plain and crashed into a beauty salon, a fire official said.
The truck went inside the Ultra Beauty Shop and jarred loose two billboards on top of the building, said Steve MacDonald, a spokesman for the Boston Fire Department.
The truck, which says "Cobra Heating and Ventilation" on the side, hit the building at about 2:30 p.m. The driver and four people who were standing in front of the salon were taken to area hospitals, MacDonald said.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
