Several pedestrians were struck by a shuttle van in downtown Seattle Thursday afternoon. The van hit the victims before crashing into the GAP store.<\/p>\n

At least 6 patients were transported to a hospital from the collision scene—located at 5th Ave. & Pine St.<\/p>\n

Seattle Fire and Police are on scene investigating. Officials say the driver appeared to have suffered some type of medical emergency before losing consciousness and losing control of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe van did not accelerate,\u201d Assistant Police Chief Marc Garth Green said. \u201cNothing obvious to make this an intentional act or deliberate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Full Statement From Seattle PD:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Detectives are investigating after a van collided with a Downtown building injuring six people Thursday.<\/em><\/p>\n

Just before noon, Thursday witnesses began calling 911 to report a van had just struck some pedestrians at 5 Avenue and Pine Street. The witnesses told officers the white passenger van was traveling southbound along 5 Avenue when it veered onto the sidewalk on the east side of the street. The van then struck four people, hit a building and threw glass onto a fifth person.<\/em><\/p>\n

Seattle fire department medics and private ambulances took the five people to the hospital with injuries ranging from serious to minor. Officers spoke with the driver who they believe suffered from a medical condition just prior to the crash. Medics took the driver to the hospital for evaluation of minor injuries.<\/em><\/p>\n

Seattle police collision investigators are working to clear the scene and will reopen the area to traffic when they are finished.<\/em><\/p>\n
