The crowd of people standing near the curb reported personal injuries many of which required hospitalization but none were fatal. Boise Police reported the driver of a Porsche Spyder from the show gunned his engine as he pulled out of the parking lot from the show, lost control and slide sideways through a crowd of people gathered on the grass. One onlooker standing near the accident said “The next thing that we know, everybody had been hit on the road, and the car was on the grass. It was chaos – completely unreal.” Those attending the car show and other bystanders rushed to the injured to assist. Police report that 11 people were hurt, some seriously injured.
The driver of the Porsche has not been arrested according to Boise Police spokeswoman Haley Williams and has not yet been charged with any crime. However, the incident is still under investigation.
