Pedestrians were seriously hurt in a Saturday morning crash in Fall River.
According to Lieutenant Jay Huard, at approximately 9:45 a.m., police officers along with the Fall River Fire Department, were dispatched to the area of 231 Weaver Street to investigate a report of a motor vehicle crash involving several pedestrians.
Upon arrival, officers found a vehicle that had crashed into the building with two females stuck under the front of the vehicle.
