Eyewitness video posted by ABC News from the incident showed the lobby filled with smoke and debris with the sound of the car engine still running and tires squealing. A young child was seen being taken away from the scene while bystanders carried an injured person away.

"I heard screaming and lots of other noise," eyewitness Steven Hughes told local affiliate KVUE anchor Daranesha Herron. "I looked down the hallway and I could see lots of smoke. I just went down there to see what was going on. I didn't know if it was an explosion or what. People just started pulling people away from the area. I could see a car had crashed into the area of the ER."
