FANWOOD, N.J. (WABC) — A driver lost control and struck several people with their car after crashing into a utility pole at a park in New Jersey on Tuesday.
Police say the driver of a white Mercedes stepped on the gas around 10 a.m. at Forest Road Park in Fanwood, hit the pole and then struck the people.
One man was thrown in the air from the impact, according to an eyewitness.
The car apparently came to a stop on a basketball court and the utility pole was knocked to the ground and left in pieces.
The three people were taken to the hospital.
Everyone involved were at the scene to vote in Tuesday's election as one of the park's buildings was being used as a polling site.
