A car slammed into a crowd at an outdoor concert Sunday in Ohio. At least nine people were injured, two of them were seriously.

Parma Heights Police Detective Sgt. Steve Scharschmidst said that the 74 years old driver of the vehicle drove onto a small dance floor in the parking lot at Greenbrier Commons, about 10 miles south of Cleveland.

Scharschmidst said that the driver was pulling out of her parking space when she accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake. He said she drove onto the dance floor, hitting eight people then struck a telephone pole and a car as she tried to correct herself.

The incident took place during a Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin summer band tribute concert, part of a series of outdoor concerts. It was the last one scheduled for the summer, and more than 100 people were present.

Scharschmidt said that the woman was "shaken up" after hitting the people on the dance floor.

Six were rushed to area hospitals. Three others, including the driver, were treated at the scene for minor injuries. Scharschmidt informed that he believed the victims were all in their 50's, 60's or 70's.

The parking lot where it happened was also the parking lot for the Parma Heights Police Department.

Scharschmidt said, "We had an officer inside who had heard all the people screaming and he went out the front door”.

Charges against the woman has not been filed yet.
