A businesswoman has spoken of the shocking moment a car smashed into her beauty salon.<\/p>\n

Ndeye Sarr, 50, was closing her shop for the day when a car ploughed into the front of her premises, the Dixa Hair and Beauty salon on Hyde Road in Gorton.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at about 6pm on Thursday (January 8). She went to hospital for to be checked over but miraculously avoided serious injury.<\/p>\n

Ms Sarr said a female member of her staff was also lucky to avoid serious injury, as she had been waiting for her bus outside prior to the crash.<\/p>\n

But Ms Sarr had told her to come inside to avoid the cold.<\/p>\n

“I close sometime around six,” Ms Sarr told the Manchester Evening News.<\/p>\n

“One of my workers was waiting for her bus. I told her to wait inside to see the bus, because it was cold outside.<\/p>\n

She told how she suddenly heard a ‘big massive noise’. She said: “I closed my eyes after I saw lots of glass coming, I covered my eyes with my hands. Lots of glass went on me and her as well.<\/p>\n

“I have little scratches in my hands. We were in A&E until 1.30am in the morning. It was bleeding.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t feel the pain, I was in shock at the time. I just noticed the blood was coming out of my hand. They checked and didn’t see any glass inside.<\/p>\n

“The police were asking me [questions] but I couldn’t even speak because the thing was so fast, and I was in shock.”<\/p>\n

Ms Sarr, who has run the salon for the past six years, says she still has some pain but that she has re-opened the salon.<\/p>\n

She said: “I have a headache, I’m taking painkillers. I’m feeling a little bit tired, I think it’s the stress. The customers are good, they are always calling me and checking.”<\/p>\n

She fears it will cost her a lot of money to return the salon to how it was before. Hyde Road was shut for hours while the emergency services dealt with the incident.<\/p>\n

Police said a 21-year-old man had been detained on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified, and driving without a licence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ndeye Sarr was just about to close her shop for the day Emergency services attend the scene of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,12763,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-367011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-gorton","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
