3 hurt in Philadelphia after car runs into crowd after Eagles win

Several people were injured in Philadelphia on Sunday evening after a car was driven into a crowd celebrating the Eagles win in the NFC championship game.

The Philadelphia Police Department announced on the social platform X that a car had collided with pedestrians. The driver of the vehicle was in custody.

“Does not appear intentional at this time,” the police said.

The victims suffered non-life threatening injuries, The Associated Press reported.

The car reportedly struck a large crowd near the Center City area around 9:30 p.m. after the Eagles beat the Washington Commanders 55-23 to advance to the Super Bowl.

While police said they do not believe the incident was intentional, witnesses told a local NBC affiliate that an argument preceded the incident.

“Everybody dancing, getting along,” a witness told NBC10. “Next thing you know, a car coming down and it’s speeding and it hit 10 people.”

The Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl on Feb. 9. It will take place in New Orleans, where a driver recently rammed into a crowd on New Year’s Day, killing 14 people.
