A 73-year-old woman lost control of her vehicle and struck a group of people this afternoon in Plymouth during the unveiling of a Vietnam War memorial, police and fire officials said.
Seven people were injured and transported to Jordan Hospital in Plymouth, said Police Captain John Rogers. Two people suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, he said.
The incident came a day after a 93-year-old man drove his car into the entrance of a Danvers Wal-Mart, injuring a woman and her 1-year-old baby.
The accident in Plymouth occurred at about 4 p.m. when the driver ran her car over the curb on Water Street at a low rate of speed into a seating area near The Moving Wall, a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., said Fire Chief Ed Bradley.
“People tried to physically stop the vehicle from rolling,” Bradley said. Authorities are investigating, Rogers said.
