Woman Drives Minivan Into Harrisburg Festival Crowd Injuring Boy, Two Adults

A 37-year-old woman, Elizabeth Ann Bohrer, drove her red minivan through barricades into the crowd at Harrisburg's Kipona Festival in Pennsylvania on Labor Day, injuring three people including a 6-year-old boy who remains in critical condition. The driver sped down five blocks, striking a wheelchair-bound woman, a man attempting to stop the vehicle, and the young boy, causing significant injuries such as a fractured pelvis and broken jaw in the child. Bohrer was reportedly belligerent and appeared to be under the influence when apprehended by police, with her minivan severely damaged during the incident. The festival, which celebrates Native American heritage, was concluding when the crash occurred, causing panic among attendees. Authorities are investigating whether the driver intentionally drove into the crowd and if she was alone in the vehicle at the time. Mayor Wanda Williams and local police are working with festival organizers and other city departments in response to the incident.
