NEW YORK: An SUV crashed into an Apple store in a Boston suburb on Monday, killing one person and injuring 16 others in an “unthinkable” incident, an official said.

The car struck “multiple” people after smashing through the glass facade of the store in the town of Hingham, Massachusetts.

The official told reporters that one person had died and that the 16 hurt had been taken to hospital.

“This morning was an unthinkable morning and people are trying to get through it and process what happened.

“Needless to say, employees working in that store and nearby are visibly shaken.”

The official did not say whether the incident was an accident or intentional, simply noting: “This investigation is active and ongoing. We are very limited as to what we can say at this point.” Footage aired by the local ABC affiliate showed several people being taken out of the store on stretchers.
