PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Providence police are investigating after a car smashes into a building early Saturday morning.

Crews responded to 519 Hartford Avenue around two o'clock after a driver crashed into Mamby's Barber Shop.

Eyewitnesses say the car drove straight into the building instead of turning at the intersection, and that the driver and a passenger fled the car after the accident.

Police believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor to the crash.
