Could it be just a terrible accident? Yes.
But nowadays, that’s how they seem- and then you find out it’s terrorism.
[…] Sources tell WBZ-TV chief investigative reporter Cheryl Fiandaca that a 56-year-old Cambridge taxi driver lost control of his taxi and drove up onto a break area where many cab drivers were.
The driver is cooperating with investigators. He works for Metro Cab, which did not respond to a request for comment from WBZ-TV.
Other taxi drivers at the scene described the cab shooting forward at a high rate of speed. A police official told the Associated Press that the driver may have stepped on the gas instead of the brake. MORE

“May have stepped on the gas instead of the brake”! It would appear that that is a very astute deduction, Sherlock!
That happened where I work. An old man hit the gas instead of the break and flipped his car in the parking lot. When I went outside for lunch, I saw the car on it’s side. “Hum,” I thought, “Funny way to park!”
Taxi driver’s name was Mohammad. Betcha.
All those injured were cabbies.
I guess the competition is getting cutthroat!
Article said he is compliant, probably was just an accident in this case.
Wonder if he has any vowels in his name?

56 year olds aren’t old and feeble minded generally speaking. Let’s watch this story unfold.
If it was a white dude, they’d have a name and pic.
“…the driver may have stepped on the gas instead of the brake.”
Here we go again with the runaway car lawsuits.
Once they image the ACM from the vehicle all will become clear; reboot, one of the cabbies they talked to said the driver was a Haitian fellow…and that there was a dead chicken nailed to the dash (okay, I made that last part up…).
