6 injured after box truck hits pedestrians in Boston

VIDEO: A box truck hit several pedestrians in Boston’s Chinatown Tuesday afternoon, sending four people to the hospital, injuring six in total, officials said. Around 12:48 p.m., officers responded to a report of a motor vehicle crash involving pedestrians at the intersection of Kneeland Street and Harrison Avenue, according to Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox. One of the four people hospitalized was in critical condition, Boston EMS said in an X post. Two others were evaluated at the scene. According to Boston Police on X, traffic travelling East (from Washington toward Tyler Streets) on Kneeland Street has reopened since the crash. “A preliminary investigation seems to indicate that this seems to be more of a tragic accident than anything else, however it’s still under investigation,” Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said at a news conference.
