On April 21, 2026, a separate incident occurred in Carmichael, where a driver crashed into the Golden Hands Barbershop on Manzanita Avenue. The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District responded to the scene and found significant structural damage to the storefront. Fortunately, no one inside the barbershop was injured.
