Tragic Accident: Car Crashes into Austin ER, 1 Dead and 5 Injured

A car crashed into the emergency room at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center in Texas, killing the driver and injuring five others, including a child with life-threatening injuries. The crash, which occurred shortly after 5:30 p.m., is under investigation, and while the cause is not immediately known, it appears to be unintentional. The ER doors were damaged, and an aquarium inside was struck, but the building is in good condition overall. Eight patients undergoing treatment at the hospital were being moved to other facilities, and the ER was still accepting walk-ins at a makeshift triage area.
