LYNN – A 67-year-old woman suffered injuries after the car she was driving rammed into the front doors of Union Hospital Thursday afternoon.”Fortunately nobody was walking in or out of the hospital at that specific moment,” Lynn District Fire Chief Stephen Archer said at the scene. “You really have to thank the nurses for coming right to the victim’s help.”Fire and police responded to Union Hospital at 3:31 p.m. Thursday and found a car had driven into the brick-supported awning extending from the front entrance of the hospital, Archer said. Tire tracks traversed a curb and tore up a flower garden near the south entrance of the Lynnfield Street hospital and left a trail of mulch over approximately 50 feet of parking lot. The trail ended with a black Toyota sedan lodged into the front doors of the hospital.Archer said the victim, a 67-year-old woman, was alone in the car and nobody else was injured. No other vehicles were damaged in the incident, he said. He said the building inspectors and Union Hospital officials were at the scene evaluating the building, but Archer said he expected that the awning had suffered the most damage.Archer said police were trying to determine the cause of the accident and what happened before the woman apparently lost control of the vehicle.He said the victim was speaking with officers and emergency technicians as she was removed from the vehicle, and he characterized her condition as stable.Archer said it was unclear if the woman was or was not heading to the hospital when the incident occurred.He credited two nurses with responding from the hospital to assist emergency medical technicians remove the victim from the vehicle.Maria Garuta said she had parked her car and was walking to the entrance of the hospital when she witnessed the accident.

Garuta said the vehicle just missed hitting another car before going into the entranceway.She said she could see the victim was bleeding.
