Two Killed as Car Crashes Into D.C. Fireworks Stand
WASHINGTON, D.C.— At least two people were killed Saturday when a car careened into a fireworks stand in the northeast of the city. Police say they believe the driver of the vehicle had suffered a medical emergency, though they stressed that the “major crash” was still under investigation.
Assistant Metro D.C. Police Chief Wilfredo Manlapaz told reporters at an evening press conference that both victims were adult males.
He said the fatal crash transpired after a truck ran a red light and “struck a bicyclist in the crosswalk” before careening into the fireworks stand.
