Multiple people struck by car, vehicle hits building on corner of busy Boston intersection

Three people were struck by a car shortly before the vehicle crashed into a building in Boston Friday afternoon, police say.

Boston police officers responded to the area of Stuart Street and Tremont Street at 3:35 p.m. for the crash, a department spokesperson told Boston 25.

Three people were hit by the car shortly around the same time it collided with the side of a building near the intersection, police say.

Two people involved in the crash were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police say. Police were unable to say whether the two hospitalized people were both pedestrians or if the driver of the vehicle was also transported.

The Boston Inspectional Services Department is also responding to the crash to evaluate the building’s stability.

A Boston 25 News crew was there when the car was towed away from the scene with severe damage to its front end.

Dozens of witnesses scoured the scene moments after the collision.

“Utter shock,” said Dylan Stevens, who saw the aftermath from his hotel room window at the Moxy across the street. “They pulled out one driver and put him on a stretcher.”
