Car kills 3 at auction

THREE people were killed and more than a dozen injured when a Jeep ploughed into a crowd at an auto auction in Massachusetts.

The New York Post reported the crash happened just after 10am on Wednesday at the Lynnway Auto Auction, north of Boston. The Jeep was in one of the facility’s eight lanes when it suddenly accelerated and struck the people.

“All information at this time suggests an accidental cause,” Massachusetts State Police said. The driver was described as a man about 75 years old.
