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 described the incident as a “major crash scene” in a statement on Twitter, promising that more details would soon be released.
The names of the victims were not immediately disclosed, but local reports said a bicyclist and a worker at the fireworks stand were the two fatally struck by a pickup truck that ran a red light.
Metro PD Sgt. Eric Kennedy, when asked if the area was considered an active crime scene, told The Daily Beast, “I would say so.”
