8 injured when car plows into Eagles fans in Philadelphia after NFC championship game
A car plowed into a crowd of revelers in Philadelphia shortly after the Eagles won the NFC championship game and punched their ticket to the Super Bowl on Sunday night.
Eight people were left injured by the crash in the Spring Garden neighborhood, though none of the injuries was life-threatening, according to the Philadelphia Police Department. The injuries ranged from pain to fractures, police said.
The 26-year-old woman who was driving the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 involved in the crash was taken into custody for questioning, police said.
The victims were part of a large crowd that took to the streets after the Eagles beat the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC championship game, sending them to the Super Bowl.
The accident took place at approximately 9:30 p.m. near Center City, one of Philadelphia's most storied neighborhoods and home to such historic attractions as the Liberty Bell.
Police said in a post on X that the incident did not appear to be intentional.
The investigation remains ongoing.
