Pedestrians hit by vehicle near Boston airport, at least 10 hurt
By Gina Cherelus
A vehicle plowed into a group of pedestrians near the taxi pool serving Boston's Logan International Airport on Monday, sending at least 10 people to hospitals with injuries, authorities said.
The incident appeared to be an accident, most likely caused by the vehicle's driver hitting the gas instead of the brake pedal, local media reported, quoting unidentified sources.
Boston police officers, as well as fire and emergency services personnel, were on the scene of the crash, which occurred in the city's East Boston section, the Massachusetts State Police said in a Twitter post.
"Preliminary reports indicate several pedestrians with injuries, varying severity," the police said.

happened to my son - a new driver.
He was very embarrassed - luckily he wasn't going very fast when he hit the other car.
