3 People Injured, Including 2 Children, After Unlicensed Driver Allegedly Reversed onto Sidewalk Outside an Elementary School

A woman is facing multiple charges after being accused of hitting three people, including two kids, with her car outside the school attended by her child. 

Salmata Bah, 35, allegedly reversed her 2014 Nissan Versa onto the sidewalk in front of Our World Neighborhood Charter School in Queens, N.Y., at around 5:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, April 3, local outlet ABC 7 reported, citing police.

A 7-year-old girl broke her femur and suffered a head injury, while a 14-year-old girl — who is believed to be her sister — and a 59-year-old man both sustained injuries to their legs, according to the outlet and The New York Post.

Bah has since been charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, the outlets reported.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) and Our World Neighborhood Charter School did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Saturday, April 5.

The three victims of the crash are currently in stable condition, according to ABC 7.

The elementary school has a crossing guard, but they do not operate around the time the crash took place, per the outlet.

Speaking with ABC 7, Ivan, a witness who had picked up his daughter moments before the incident, recalled, “I saw what looked like a younger child in a car where it shouldn’t be on a sidewalk, and I actually tried calling 911 and I couldn’t get through because I was panicky and my fingers weren’t doing what they were supposed to be doing, and my daughter and I were both a little hysterical.”

Following the incident, parents are hoping it will make others more cautious of the school zone.

“I would urge people to really think about that in terms of maybe not allowing parking during drop-off time or pickup time, I don’t know, but it’s definitely a hectic environment when parents are picking up kids,” Ivan told the outlet.
