BEVERLY HILLS, CA — On the same day nail salons were allowed to reopen in Beverly Hills, a 99-year-old woman crashed her car into one and broke its front window. Cell phone footage shows a white BMW crashing into Notox Nails, a salon on South Maple Drive in Beverly Hills. Broken shards of glass and bricks flew everywhere. Witnesses told Fox 11 News that the woman, one day short of her 99th birthday, was trying to back into a tight parking space at around 12:30 p.m. Thursday when her foot slipped and she slammed through the store window, ripping off her car's front bumper in the process. Owner Lexi Suga said the woman seemed fine, and said she needed to go to a hair appointment next store. "She seemed totally coherent, fine, she acknowledged that she did what she did, but she was just ready to go to her next thing." Suga told Patch that no one in the store was injured since they were all in the back — even the nail polish managed to stay on the wall —but the entire window is gone. Suga said that the woman's insurance will pay for all the costs, and inspection The team boarded up the window immediately, and says she expects the window will be reopened in about two weeks. In the meantime, Suga will have to continue operating outside. "The city inspector even took time to email me and tell me we were allowed to open indoors, and I sent him a picture of our window with a giant car in the middle," she said.
