SEATAC, Wash. (AP) — Several people, including a young child, were hurt Wednesday when a car hit them at the departures area of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The collision happened on the upper departures drive and three people were taken to hospitals, airport officials said on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.
“The incident on the upper drive appears to be an unintentional act,” airport officials said.
The child, described as under the age of 5, was in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center, The Seattle Times reported. Officials said the other two people had serious injuries.
The driver was cooperating with police, according to airport spokesperson Perry Cooper, and an investigation was continuing.
The departures area was closed for hours but reopened around 5 p.m.
