Nine people were hurt on Saturday when an elderly driver struck several pedestrians, a fence and an unoccupied police vehicle in the parking lot of Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre in California.
The crash around 6:45 p.m. local time caused the police vehicle to move onto a lawn near the box office, striking numerous people who were picnicking before a concert, Irvine police said.
Four of the victims were treated for serious injures, police said.
Concertgoers were at the venue for the Pacific Symphony’s performance of Tchaikovsky compositions.
The incident is under investigation. Police said that there was no evidence that the driver was intoxicated, NBC LA reports.
Neal Weiss, who said he witnessed the collision, shared photos on Facebook showing the chaos following the crash.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact IPD Detective Jon Cherney at 949-724-7024.
