Multiple people were injured when a vehicle drove into a crowd in Philadelphia after the Eagles beat the Washington Commanders at home to advance to the Super Bowl.

Police said the vehicle drove into pedestrians, possibly accidentally, at an intersection along Broad Street, where throngs of fans customarily gather to celebrate big Eagles victories.

The number of people struck or hospitalized was not immediately available. Video from the scene shows Philadelphia Fire Department personnel working on the injured in the street.

Police said a driver was in custody. “Does not appear intentional at this time,” the department said on X.

NBC Philadelphia showed video of crowds gathered along Broad Street to celebrate the Eagles’ NFC championship victory.

Philadelphia’s Office of Emergency Management announced Sunday evening that streets on either side of Broad Street, from just north of City Hall nearly to its famed South Street, would be closed to traffic for celebrants. The incident happened north of the the closures.

The Eagles beat the Commanders 55-23 and will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Feb. 9.
