BOSTON (WHDH) - Crews responded after a car crashed on Boston Common around 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Police say the car crashed into the common near Frog Pond at the intersection of Beacon and Walnut Streets.
No pedestrians were injured in the crash and the driver suffered a medical emergency. The driver and a passenger were taken to a hospital.
“The fortunate thing is no one was standing on the stairs because that would’ve been, could have been a fatality, I mean the amount of damage that car did if someone- there’s people constantly walking there down those stairs,” Doug Lewison said, who rushed outside to help.
The car was towed away and a non-profit that cares for the park said that incidents like this one are rare.
“Things do happen in public parks, all kinds of things,” Liza Meyer said, CEO of Friends of the Public Garden. “So this isn’t the first time a car has cone through the fence and the common and down those stairs, it happened just several years ago a truck came through.”
