DEVELOPING: Several people were injured Wednesday when a jeep sped through a crowded auto auction in a small Massachusetts town.
The crash happened around 10:30 a.m. at LynnWay Auto Auction in Billerica, about 20 miles northwest of Boston, Fox affiliate WFXT-TV reported.
Witnesses described seeing the vehicle “speeding up through the auction” and said it appeared to have been an accident, according to local reports.
“It hit the wall all the way to the end. It’s a concrete wall. So many people are hurt, I have no idea,” a witness told WBZ-TV.

Employee Woody Tuttle told WCVB-TV he heard tires screeching and saw the vehicle strike several people.
Tuttle told the station: “(The driver) avoided the cars and went on to hit the people who were standing between the cars.”
Some witnesses said an elderly man was seen behind the wheel of the jeep, according to local reports.
It doesn’t sound like terrorism, rather an accident. But we’ll wait for more information.
