Tragedy struck outside Washington D.C. late Saturday when a reckless driver plowed into a group of unsuspecting people gathered at a child's birthday party. The impact was devastating, claiming the life of a woman in her 30s and leaving at least 14 others seriously injured - including eight children as young as two years old.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with multiple victims rushed to hospital by emergency services. Eleven people were taken into care, suffering from severe injuries sustained during the attack. The driver fled on foot after striking the group but later surrendered to authorities, reportedly identified as a 66-year-old man from the local area.
As the full extent of the damage became clear, police confirmed that one woman had lost her life in the incident - identified as 31-year-old Ashley Hernandez Gutierrez. Social media posts revealed further details, including that multiple children were among those seriously injured, with some in critical condition.
The incident occurred shortly before midnight at a home outside Washington D.C., and was initially reported as a hit-and-run collision. However, police later confirmed that the driver had turned himself in and cooperated with authorities. The full circumstances surrounding the attack are still under investigation, but one thing is clear: a senseless act of violence has left a community reeling in grief and shock.
