(AP) — A car plowed into a crowd at a north Georgia auto auction and sent more than a dozen people to hospitals, including at least six with serious injuries.

Georgia State Patrol spokesman Gordy Wright said the accelerator apparently stuck as the car, a 1995 Volvo, was being driven into the hall for dealers to bid on it Tuesday night.

Wright said one person was critically injured and was being treated at an Atlanta hospital.

He said the names of those injured and the extent of their injuries were not yet available.

The state patrol is investigating, but Wright said it was too early to speculate on whether charges could be filed.
