A boy was critically injured after he was struck by a Porsche SUV that crashed through a barbershop wall in West Houston on Saturday.
The 11-year-old boy was mowed down when the Porsche Macan drove through 5 businesses, including the 32 Degrees Barbershop at a strip mall.

The Porsche and the boy ended up in the massage parlor next door to the 32 Degrees Barbershop.
The vehicle first entered the strip mall through the front of a church, then turned and drove through four businesses. It came to a stop inside a gun shop.
Strip mall owner Joseph Rothchild said the male driver had just undergone dialysis treatment at a dialysis center nearby. The man told Rothchild he lost consciousness behind the wheel.
“He said he remembered backing up, and he remembered going forward, but after that, he just remembered waking up in the [gun shop],” Rothchild said.
Darrick Brown, who owns 32 Degrees Barbershop, said a man painting his windows warned him and everyone inside the barbershop.
Other victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and no fatalities were reported, police said.
