Unfortunate accident, appears as if the gas pedal got stuck somehow.

But could be the driver just messed up.

At least three people were killed and nine others were injured Wednesday when an SUV that was being shown to prospective buyers at a Massachusetts auto auction suddenly accelerated and crashed into bystanders.

...

Investigators said an auction employee in his 70s was behind the wheel of the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee when it apparently lurched out of control.

So did they buy the SUV or not?

Wonder if it's going to be labeled a terrorist event?

Joking, but seriously, if you've ever been to an auto auction, most of the drivers are elderly retired types. It quite possibly could be driver error, as easily possible is mechanical failure.

Sad either way...
