At least 11 people have been injured after a car crashed into an Austin, Texas, food truck, authorities said.
On Friday evening, around 8:18 p.m. local time, two vehicles were involved in a “T-bone type collision,” which resulted in one of the vehicles being pushed into a group of individuals who were located near the food truck, Christa Stedman, a spokeswoman for the Austin-Travis County EMS, said in anews conference.
Of those nine, two people are currently dealing with potentially life-threatening injuries, two are dealing with serious injuries, and five others obtained non-life-threatening injuries. Each individual was an adult.
One of the drivers involved in the collision was one of the individuals who refused medical treatment, Stedman noted.

In the same news conference, a sergeant with the Austin Police Department said that the investigation remains ongoing and authorities were searching to uncover more details about the incident.
“We heard a car speeding up, revving up, and then all of a sudden a huge pop, and we came out here as fast as we can to find this huge truck hit a tiny little car and made the biggest noise,” she detailed.
“I think that you should never be speeding, especially in the middle of Austin when there’s people walking around, and be extra careful driving, because anything can happen — and it happens within 10 seconds,” Sezanne added.
