District Attorney statement
DIstrict Attorney office issued a news statement stating, “Upon arrival, first responders found coworkers and other bystanders administering first aid to many people in need of urgent care.”
Responders discovered “people injured out in front of the store and the store, including a few patients who were pushed against the wall by the vehicle,” Hingham Fire Chief Steve Murphy said at a news conference on Monday in the late afternoon.
He reported that 14 ambulances and seven fire engines were there at the Massachusetts Apple store.
After an SUV crashed into an Apple store, emergency personnel provided aid to injured customers.
‘Limb-threatening’ injuries
To keep patients warm during triage, first responder Dr. William Tollefsen of South Shore Hospital in Weymouth recalled using a restaurant next to the Apple store. He claimed that the victims had damaged limbs and head trauma.
Dr. Christopher Burns, the trauma division chief at South Shore, said the facility was treating patients with life- and limb-threatening injuries, some of whom were still awaiting surgery on Monday afternoon.
The SUV is towed away from the accident scene by a tow truck.
Names are not revealed
As of Monday evening, South Shore Hospital was attending to 17 crash victims, the district attorney’s office said to CNN in an email. Two further injured persons who had been sent to South Shore were instead taken to Boston-area hospitals.
Officials stated the names of the injured would not be revealed until families had been notified.
Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital reported receiving two patients, and Boston Medical Center informed CNN that it had received three patients for admission.
Whether patients who were transferred to Brigham and Women’s or Boston Medical Center are counted in their totals is unknown.
Investigation
Tim Cruz, the district attorney for Plymouth County, answered inquiries from reporters on the scene on Monday, calling it “an unthinkable morning.”
“I’m sure that we will find out once we have an opportunity to review all the documents and tapes, wherever it’s necessary to go forward from there and figure out exactly what happened and really what the absolute unthinkable event that occurred at that store when you’re just going there to buy a phone or get something fixed or whatever it may be, it’s absolutely unthinkable. It’s absolutely tragic.”
There are still a lot of unanswered concerns surrounding Monday’s tragedy, and the investigation is still in its early stages.

Witness Statement
According to Witness Emily McKenna, who spoke to WFXT, she heard glass break and saw people rushing to the store’s window.
“They thought it was a smash and grab, and there was just a gaping hole in the middle of the Apple Store,” she said. “I didn’t see the car drive by, but someone said it was going pretty fast, so maybe he just lost control.”
Upon entering the store, the SUV’s speed was not immediately apparent.

Apple’s statement
“Our thoughts go out to our team members and customers who were injured and all of those who were affected by this terrible incident,” Apple said in a statement posted on Monday.
The firm released a statement that said, “We are devastated by the shocking events at Apple Derby Street today and the tragic loss of a professional who was onsite supporting recent construction at the store.”
In this extremely trying moment, we are doing everything we can to support our team members and clients.
Shop closed
The Apple website indicates that the Derby Street shop is presently closed.
The website apologized for any trouble caused by this store’s closure. “Until we can reopen again, please consider using our online services.”
Derby Street Shop People Statements
Frank O’Brien, who was shopping at Derby Street at the time, said to the Patriot Ledger that he wondered how quickly an automobile would have to move to shatter the glass in front of the business.
“You’d have to really be picking up speed to end up in the storage area at the back side of the Apple store,” he said.
The SUV looked to be traveling at a fast pace when it plowed into the business, according to one person who was inside the store at the time of the collision.
“It was like a big explosion,” another witness, who was outside, said. “It was so loud.”
According to a man who talked with NewsCenter 5, his buddy was inside the Massachusetts Apple store when the accident occurred, and she believed the automobile was driving at a speed of around 50 mph when it crashed through the front of the structure.
“That was her guess,” he said.
