( CNN ) -- A 1997 Cadillac plowed into a parade crowd in Virginia on Saturday , injuring dozens of spectators and leaving others pinned underneath the car . The accident injured up to 60 people , with 10 hospitalized , but none of the injuries appeared life-threatening , CNN affiliate WJHL reported . Rescuers lifted the car to free people trapped beneath it after the accident in Damascus , said Bill Nunly , the town 's police chief . A medical condition caused the driver participating in the parade with hikers to lose control and plow into spectators , WJHL reported , citing Pokey Harris , an emergency management coordinator with Washington County . It was unclear what condition it was , and the driver was not identified . Revelers and trail blazers were filing down a street in the town near the Tennessee state line to celebrate the Appalachian Trail when the sedan veered off the road . It `` then moved into the hiker parade , where it started striking hikers , '' Nunly said . It also crashed into other vehicles . Hikers and rescuers dashed after the car to stop it . `` The doors were open ; people were able to make entry inside , '' Nunly said . Timothy Tabat was in the right place at the right time . `` I reached back and grabbed the handle for the driver 's side rear door , jumped into the car , and put the car into park , '' he said . Then the crowd that had pursued the large car lifted it up to free those pinned underneath it . Of those injured , at least five or six were `` trauma victims , '' an emergency dispatcher said . The accident occurred during the Hiker Parade at the annual Trail Days festival , which honors the famed hiking trail . Dalton Thomson told CNN affiliate WCYB that he was pushed out of the way of the oncoming car by a hiker . `` We all looked back . There were hikers on top , hikers under the car , '' he said . `` It was unreal . '' CNN 's Chelsea Carter , Janet DiGiacomo and Jennifer Moore contributed to this report .
