A car ploughed into people gathered at a food cart after a road crash leaving 11 people injured in Texas.
Witnesses said the shocking collision sounded like an "explosion" with two people left fighting for their lives on Friday night.
Austin-Travis County EMS crews responded to the scene, where officials said two vehicles had a T-bone crash, pushing one of the cars into a crowd of pedestrians at a food truck, reported the Daily Star.
The incident took place shortly after 8:15pm in Austin, Texas, and the driver of one vehicle was among the nine taken to hospital.
An onlooker told KVUE that the crash sounded like "like an explosion, like a bomb".
Austin's EMS confirmed that of the 11 injured, nine people, all adults, were taken to hospital and two with potentially life-threatening injuries
Two people were evaluated at the scene and declined to go to the hospital explained the Public Information Officer.
The collision occurred in a popular area near central Austin where there are frequently several food carts stationed.
Nine ambulances, two district commanders and other administrative workers responded to the scene.
Photos shared on social media showed shocked customers sitting on benches outside the food truck.
Eyewitnesses told local media outlets that a a white Ford F-250 pick-up truck was going at speed and hit a turning Scion tC sedan, with the sedan spinning off the road and hitting the Holla Mode food truck.
The white pick-up then drove onto the sidewalk and into a nearby bicycle rack.
Police said the roads weren't slippery or dangerous because of any weather but that it was just a "normal Friday night in the ATX."
Mike Marut, a reporter with KVUE, tweeted: "Talking to a Chuy's employee and manager who ran outside right after it happened, they tell me they saw people trapped under the silver car.
"Deaf and hard of hearing people were outside, didn't hear the crash and were hit. Manager described one with a severe leg injury.'"
Sgt Moore with the Austin Police Department said that the drivers of the vehicles were cooperating but it was too soon to say whether there would be any charges filed.
