Truck Strikes Pedestrians In Downtown Boston

Multiple pedestrians have been injured after a box truck struck them on Tuesday afternoon, according to Boston police.

The truck, a yellow-colored Penske rental truck, struck multiple poles and flipped on its side before becoming wedged between a pole and a building, authorities said.

At least two people are in critical condition and firefighters used extrication tools to remove the trapped driver from the cab of the truck, a police spokesperson said.

Homicide and the fatal accident team are responding.

Police said it is a very active scene, and they do not have a total number of victims yet.

Images from the scene showed the yellow truck on its side with a pole lodged in between the cab and the box of the truck. The truck’s windscreen was smashed and debris, including shattered glass, was strewn across the street.
