According to the Austin Police, thirteen people are hospitalized, two of them remain in critical condition. In some of the images you can see the victims lying in the street being attended by police officers as the ambulances struggled to reach the scene due to the large amount of traffic in the area.
According to the authorities, this night was apparently the busiest in that area since the start of the pandemic.
Videos posted on Snapchat show people lying in the street being attended by officers.
Other images captured by KAXN cameras show police officers running and people being taken to ambulances.
