A driver intentionally plowed into pedestrians in California and injured 8 people Thursday evening, police say
A driver hit a group of pedestrians on a sidewalk in Northern California, leaving eight people injured in what appears to be an"intentional act," authorities said.
The incident happened Tuesday evening in Sunnyvale. Police were called to the scene about 6:40 p.m., said Capt. Jim Choi of the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety. The preliminary investigation shows the pedestrians were on the sidewalk when the black sedan drove into them, he said, describing the accident as an"intentional act." Witnesses told police there were no signs the car attempted to slow down and there was no evidence of braking at the scene, he said.
