(PHILADELPHIA) — Shortly after the Philadelphia Eagles won the NFC championship game and their ticket to the Super Bowl on Sunday night, a car plowed into a crowd of revelers in Philadelphia.
Three people were left injured by the crash in the Spring Garden neighborhood, though none of the injuries was life-threatening, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.
They were part of a large crowd that took to the streets after the Eagles beat the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC championship game, sending them on to the Super Bowl.
The accident took place at approximately 9:30 p.m. near Center City, one of Philadelphia’s most storied neighborhoods and home to such historic attractions as the Liberty Bell.
Police said in a post on X that the incident did not appear to be intentional.
A person inside the vehicle was taken into custody for questioning, according to the PPD.
