The driver of an SUV that crashed through an Apple store Monday morning in Hingham, Mass., killing one and injuring 19, said it was an accident.
State Trooper Andrew Chiachio wrote in a police report that Rein said "his right foot became stuck on the accelerator" and " used his left foot to try to brake, but was unable to stop the vehicle and crashed through the front of the Apple store."Chiachio said Rein told him he was at Derby Street Shops to repair a lens in his eyeglasses, which he was not wearing at the time of the crash. He was given an alcohol breath test at the police station, which registered a 0.
After crashing through the glass storefront, the SUV continued to the back wall of the store and trapped several people inside. The store entrance is about 30 feet from the parking lot.Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said outside the courthouse Tuesday he didn't know how fast the SUV was going, but did say people were walking on the sidewalk in front of the store when the crash occurred."The Apple store is a very busy place," he said.
Steve Murphy, the Hingham fire chief, said bystanders provided first aid to help the injured. Two people were taken to Boston hospitals in critical condition. No updates on their conditions had been provided at 7:50 a.m. Tuesday.
