Four people were killed and nine others were injured after an SUV crashed into a Long Island, New York, nail salon Friday afternoon.

The vehicle slammed into Hawaii Nail & Spa on Grand Boulevard in Deer Park shortly before 5 p.m.

The driver, Steven Schwally, was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, Suffolk County police said Saturday. He was transported to Good Samaritan University Hospital in West Islip for non-life-threatening injuries and will be arraigned at a later date.

All of those killed or injured were inside the salon at the time, according to Lt. Kevin Heissenbuttel. Some people were trapped in the salon and had to be extricated by emergency services, he said.

Schwally, 64, was allegedly driving a Chevy Traverse southbound at a high rate of speed through a parking lot when he crossed over Grand Boulevard, police said in a news release. The vehicle continued through the parking lot of the nail salon and crashed through the front window, authorities said.
