A car slammed into the Hingham Apple Store, leaving injuries to customers inside.Īnother witness who spoke to WBZ-TV said she was sitting in a nearby Barnes and Noble at the time. "It must have traveled all the way to the back of the store," Stott said. He said from his vantage point, he couldn't see the car. "The parking lot was very, very busy so I'm assuming there was a lot of people in the store." "There's probably close to ten ambulances in the parking lot right now, along with a lot of fire engines, and police vehicles," he described shortly after the crash. Jason Stott works nearby and witnessed the event. Video of the scene shows a large hole in the glass of the storefront and multiple people on stretchers. Hospital officials said given the time of day, and day of the week, the hospital was well-staffed and able to quickly take in the victims. We had patients with confounding factors, chronic medical illnesses as well that made things a little more difficult than just the standard trauma patient without other medical things going on as well," said South Shore Hospital Dr. "The injuries were somewhat diverse, ranging from some pretty serious head trauma to some pretty decent lower-extremity trauma, mangled limbs, but it was pretty much the gambit. Two of the patients were then transported to Boston hospitals. Nineteen people were taken to South Shore Hospital. More than a dozen ambulances were called to the scene to transport victims. "Hingham Police Department and Hingham Fire Department responded, found multiple patients injured out in front of the store, and in the store, including a few patients that were pinned against the wall by the vehicle," said Hingham Fire Chief Steve Murphy.
