SPUYTEN DUYVIL — A car jumped a curb and smashed into a pizzeria and a hair salon Monday, trapping several people behind debris, authorities said. 

The car slammed into the front of Famous Pizza Express and A Touch of Sun Hair and Spa at 570 and 568 Kappock St. just before 3:30 p.m., according to the FDNY and a post on social media.
