Two women have died and six people are hurt, including three people with life-threatening injuries, after a driver plowed into a D.C. restaurant’s outdoor seating area, officials say. 

The names of the women who died were not immediately released.

The victims are all people who were dining outside at the Parthenon Restaurant & Chevy Chase Lounge in the 5500 block of Connecticut Avenue NW, officials said, according to initial information.

D.C. Fire and EMS triaged multiple patients. Medics could be seen loading people onto stretchers.

Eight people were taken to hospitals with various injuries; five of those people had critical, life-threatening injuries, the fire department said. The two women who died were among those critically hurt. Three more people were evaluated on the scene but not taken to hospitals.

According to a preliminary investigation, an elderly man lost control while driving, Second District Cmdr. Duncan Bedlion said at a news conference.

“All indictions are this was truly accidental. There were no indications this was intentional,” he said. 

Bedlion described the driver as elderly and did not cite his age.
