The terrifying moment a car smashed through the emergency room at St David's North Austin Medical Center in Texas was captured on camera, showing the impact of the crash which injured five and killed the driver
The crash is under investigation, but the Austin Police Department said it appears to be unintentional.
Witness Stephen Hughes said the loud collision left him fearing it was a terrorist attack as it resembled an 'explosion', with the aftermath showing the ER destroyed by the impact.
A driver died and at least five people were hurt as a vehicle crashed Tuesday evening into an Austin, Texas, medical center emergency room, the facility's chief medical officer said.
A Texas hospital official says a large aquarium in the lobby of an emergency room likely saved lives when it absorbed the impact of a car that smashed through the entrance. The driver was killed and five others, including two children, were injured in Tuesday's crash at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center. Police were still investigating the cause of the crash on Wednesday, but police spokeswoman Ariel Crumes said investigators don't believe it was intentional and that there is is no indication the driver had a medical episode right before the crash.
