LIMA — Police had no explanation late Friday why a woman drove her car into Town Square during a crowded Rally in the Square, injuring up to 30 people. 
 
 
 
 People in the crowd reported watching rallygoers picking up the Oldsmobile sedan to free others pinned underneath. No fatalities were reported as of midnight, but rescue workers said people suffered serious injuries to legs, heads and necks. Two people were admitted to St. Rita's Medical Center, according to Anne Sweigart, of St. Rita's Medical Center. 
 
 
 
 “It just happened so fast,” said Amee Truesdale, at the rally with her husband, Todd, the fire chief for Shawnee Township. They and their friends were near the car as it came into the square, Amee Truesdale said. The car seemed to not stop a bit, she said, and hit the “Trinity” sculpture at full speed. 
 
 
 
 “We all fell backwards. It was unreal. There were bodies, and shoes and jewelry,” Amee Truesdale said. “It was very busy tonight. They took many, many people to the hospital, and two or three of them looked seriously hurt. It was just unreal. I saw men pick up that car and move out a gentleman that was pinned underneath.” 
 
 
 
 The driver had a dog in the car with her and appeared to move into the square from a stopped position. The driver drove the car past the beer truck and into the sculpture, which has been a part of the square since 1987. 
 
 
 
 The crash happened at 9:22 p.m. The crowd was larger than normal because of the nice weather and a popular band, The Earthquakers. 
 
 
 
 The scene crawled with police officers, firefighters and medics from Lima, Shawnee Township, Bath Township, Perry Township, Allen County Sheriff's Office and Lima Allen County Paramedics. Officers soon stretched crime scene tape around much of the northern half of the square and blocked off traffic as medics tended to multiple victims. There were beer cans everywhere, left by people moved back beyond the tape and now capturing the scene on their phones. 
 
 
 
 Ambulances made multiple trips to St. Rita's Medical Center and took at least some other patients to Lima Memorial Health System. 
 
 
 
 Police remained on the scene Friday night, trying to piece together what happened with the crash. 
 
 
 
 Bill Sullivan, director of ArtSpace Lima, which sponsors the Friday night rallies, was not there at the time of the crash and had no information about what had happened. Volunteers do track the number of people who attend, but had not yet tallied the crowd.

 No one was killed, but some victims suffered serious injuries to their legs, heads and necks, police said. A hospital spokeswoman said about 30 people were treated Friday night. All but four were released, and at least one other victim was taken to another hospital. 
 
 The chaotic scene unfolded on Friday night in Lima, where more than 1,000 people had gathered for a weekly community event featuring live music, police said. 
 
 "We were packed," said Andrea Scheckelhoss, who was working in a beer truck at the event. "This was probably one of our busiest nights." 
 
 She said people were trying to get their last round of beer for the night when she saw a small, two-door vehicle come from her right and plow through the crowd. About 50 people were in and around the car's path. 
 
 "I could hear the people hitting against the car," the 25-year-old Scheckelhoss said. "There were shoes flying. I could see people tumbled over. It was just so disturbing." 
 
 Todd Truesdale, the fire chief for Shawnee Township, was at the event with his wife and some friends. He said he had his back turned to the accident when he heard a loud scream and turned around. 
 
 "I saw two people go up the air, and I knew it was a car," he said. "I couldn't see it, but I heard the revving of the engine." 
 
 Finally, the car struck an old sculpture in the square, witnesses say, then came to a stop with its windshield shattered. Those nearby picked it up to free victims who were trapped. 
 
 Scheckelhoss, one of the first people to call police, said the unidentified driver appeared to be in her 40s. She had a white dog in the back seat. 
 
 "I remember looking at the woman's face," she said. "She looked disoriented." 
 
 Truesdalem, who said the car came to rest right beside him, began to help local responders. 
 
 "Everyone was trying to help," he said. "It was tragic, but it was nice to see the community come together." 
 
 It's not clear what happened to the driver. Police said they're still investigating what may have caused the crash.
