Car plows into hospital emergency room (VIDEO)
A car has crashed into a Texas emergency room, killing at least one person and injuring several more including children, according to local officials.
The vehicle crashed through the entrance of St. David’s North Austin Medical Center at around 5:30pm on Tuesday evening, the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services said, noting that two children and one adult suffered “potentially serious injuries.”
Two others sustained “non-life threatening injuries,” the emergency service added, after initially reporting a total of 10 people wounded.
Police detective Carey Chaudoir later confirmed one death to the Austin American-Statesman, while the city’s police department noted the crash appeared to be unintentional.
The driver died in the apparent accident, though Chaudoir noted that it was unclear whether the crash was the cause.
