Woman crashes at flu-shot site; 7 hurt
At least seven people were injured Friday when a woman seeking a flu shot accidentally drove her car into a line of waiting vehicles at a drive-through vaccination site in Bakersfield, according to police.
The accident occurred about 10:30 a.m. at Bakersfield College, according to a Police Department news release.
“While waiting in line to receive a vaccination, the driver suffered from an apparent medical condition,” the statement read. The woman accidentally pressed the accelerator, sending her vehicle into several other cars, a bus and a tree, which was torn from the ground, police said.
The driver and six other people were taken to a hospital and treated for minor to moderate injuries.
No pedestrians were injured, police said.
