Four people were killed and ten were injured after a vehicle crashed into a Long Island nail salon on Friday, authorities said.

Steven Schwally, 64, was driving a Chevy Traverse southbound at a high rate of speed through a parking lot in Deer Park at around 4:30 p.m. when he crossed a roadway and continued into another parking lot, Suffolk County Police said Saturday. Schwally then crashed through the front window of Hawaii Nail & Spa.

The vehicle traveled nearly all the way through to the back of the nail salon, authorities said.

Three women and a man were pronounced dead at the scene.
