Car Crashes into Barber Shop

CAMERON, Wis. (AP) -- Barber Jason Erickson feels lucky to be alive after a vehicle crashed into his shop in the Barron County community of Cameron on Monday. It shattered glass and shifted the brick building's foundation.

Erickson said the vehicle hit right behind the bench where he was sitting while eating his lunch. He tried to help the driver and immediately called 911.

Police Chief Terry Skaar said it took the Jaws of Life to free the woman from the mangled Jeep, and she was flown to an Eau Claire hospital for treatment.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
