Horrific photos show a crumpled wheelchair and debris covering a seating area after the horrific crash at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center in Texas.
The Austin Fire Department and the Austin-Travis County EMS were called to the hospital at 5:38 PM.
It was reported that at least one person had died, however, it is not clear if was caused by the crash, Detective Carey Chaudoir told the Austin American-Statesman.
The car reportedly hit four people, two of whom were children causing them to be thrown into the building.
ATCEMS has initially classified the incident as a Level-4 MCI, where 20-49 patients are believed to be involved.
Law enforcement was quick to get to the devastating car crash.
10 people were said to have been transported to nearby hospitals around the area.
The two children were confirmed by police to have serious injuries while one adult was said to have suffered from minor issues. All three were sent to Dell Children's Hospital.
