14 people taken to hospital after van crashes into Boston home
Several people were taken to the hospital after a transport van slammed into a home in Boston on Wednesday afternoon.
The crash happened on Rowell Street in the city's Dorchester neighborhood, according to Boston police.
Police said 16 elderly people were on the van, fourteen of whom required transport to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Photos from the scene showed a white van that had veered onto the sidewalk, coming to a stop up against a multi-level home.
Maddie Woltman was sitting in her apartment at the time of the crash.
Video from inside shows the entire building shaking from the impact of the van.
Woltman says she was one of a couple of nurses and neighbors who rushed outside to try to help.
'They were trying to open the back of the van but they couldn't get it open, so then I went to the drivers side and there was a nurse with [the driver],' she said. 'He was bleeding and kept kind of pointing at his hip and saying his hip hurt.'
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
