Woman, 82, crashes into salon, gets her hair done

An 82-year-old woman who accidentally crashed her car through the front window of a southwest Michigan salon stuck around afterward for an appointment to get her hair done.
Authorities said Marion Zock was parking her Ford Fusion on Thursday outside Classic Hair Design in Kent County's Plainfield Township, near Grand Rapids, when she stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.
Two people were injured, including an employee who returned to work after treatment and a girl with a bruised arm.
Zock told WOOD-TV her foot slipped from the brake. She's a regular customer and says she was "so embarrassed."
Stylist Kristi Dochod told WWMT-TV the crash sounded like an explosion. The salon stayed open as the car was removed, and is open during repairs.

*********

Must be a tough group there, staying open during and after the crash.

We had a shooting at the Apple store across the street from where I worked last year. A woman got hit and had to be taken away in an ambulance. I don't know if she made it but the store opened back up in an hour.

I like it that she stayed to get her hair done after crashing into the store. When you're 82, you want to be looking good. There might not be much time left, so you need to make the most of it.

Well, I mean, she came all that way...

Toyota's building Ford Fusions, now?
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

It was probably just a wash, set, and comb out for her. My mom gets these things done every week. You would not believe the amount of money these ladies spend at their hairdressers. :eek:

Of course, I'm comparing that to spending only a few dollars on shampoo per month and getting maybe one haircut every two years. I'm low budget when it comes to haircare. Just don't ask how much I spend on wool for hooking. :hat:

Well yeah, and there might have been some media attention. Wouldn't want to look all scruffy on the evening news. :)

Yeah, and as long as she was there anyway.

And chances are her car wasn't going to be removed right away, so why not get *something* done.

This woman could have been from Minnesoooota. She has a definite Minnesoooota mindset. No matter what the situation, just make the best of it. :lol2:
