Car plows into Apple store outside Boston leaving people trapped and building near collapse

At least 10 people were injured after a vehicle drove into an Apple store outside Boston at high speed, causing the building to collapse.

Authorities say an unknown driver drove into the store in Hingham, Massachusetts just before 11 a.m. Monday — just an hour after it opened for the day.

At least four people were trapped in the building at the time. The Patriot Book reports, but early reports suggest that the last person trapped in the building has now been rescued.

Emergency services who arrived on the scene found a gaping hole in the glass front of the store on Derby Street, where the SUV crashed into the building.

Several people were later seen being taken from the store on stretchers about 17 miles southeast of Boston. Others were treated at the scene by dozens of first responders and a medical helicopter has been called.

There would also be an MBTA bus en route to be used as triage.

Meanwhile, a nurse at a local hospital told WCVB they were told to expect between seven and 10 casualties who would be transported to their emergency room.

Police are now calling for a tow truck to remove the car, which has stopped along the back wall of the store, The Patriot Ledger reports.

Witnesses say they heard a loud bang Monday morning and ran to see the vehicle in the store, reporter Robert Goulston tweeted.

Another man reported on Twitter that his wife was in the store when a “black 4Runner at full speed” drove into the store.

“She said there are a lot of injuries – my wife used a spare coat as a tourniquet.”

The incident comes at the start of a busy holiday week, when many are off work.
