Tragedy struck at a child’s birthday celebration in Maryland on Saturday night when a vehicle reportedly crashed into the gathering, resulting in the death of one woman and injuries to multiple others.

The heartbreaking incident unfolded in Bladensburg, a town in Prince George’s County, roughly six miles from Washington, D.C., according to reports from FOX 5 DC.

Authorities stated that the attendees were enjoying the party under a tent in the yard when, around 10 p.m., a driver suddenly veered into the crowd.

On Sunday, officials announced that the case is being treated as a fatal hit-and-run. The driver, a 66-year-old man, has since surrendered to the police.
