00:00A California barber and his customer had an unexpected brush with death when a runaway
00:05truck crashed through a barbershop.
00:08In a startling incident in Hollywood, a Ford 350 pickup truck smashed through the windows
00:13of Trendsetter's barbershop, sending customers and employees into a frenzy.
00:19The enormous red pickup, left unattended at a nearby gas station, rolled away, crossed
00:24the road and crashed through the barbershop's front window.
00:28As seen on the video, the vending machine flew across the room and almost crushed the
00:33customer's legs.
00:34Eugene Torres, who was mid-haircut with a straight razor, had time to warn his customer,
00:39who escaped unharmed.
00:41Remarkably, Torres finished the haircut and continued working until officials deemed the
00:46building structurally unsound.
00:48The truck had struck a pillar, making the building unsafe.
00:51However, this twist of fate may have saved those inside.
00:55According to Torres,
00:56Surprisingly, this is not the first time this has happened.
00:59Two years ago, another truck went through the other window.
01:02A local guy said he's seen it happen six times in the 30 years he's lived here.
01:07Quick thinking and a stroke of luck, fortunately, left everyone unharmed.
