Terry D. Taffer and Jane Bloom were struck by an SUV which plowed into a crowd of outdoor diners at lunchtime Friday.
Six other people who were sitting outside the Parthenon restaurant on Friday afternoon were hospitalized, and their conditions were not immediately available. The name of the driver and his condition also were not released. Police do not believe the driver’s actions were intentional.Police said Taffer and Bloom were among a group of patrons at the Greek restaurant at 5510 Connecticut Ave. when the incident happened at 12:17 p.m. Friday.
Witnesses told The Post on Friday that the gray Subaru SUV suddenly appeared to accelerate onto the patio, where about 16 diners were sitting. “It was going super-fast, like police-car fast,” said Becky Pulles, who was seated with a friend at an outdoor table at a Starbucks about 75 feet from the Parthenon.
Michael Harrison, a manager at the restaurant, said he was at a window inside the lounge area as the SUV barreled toward the patio. The driver “looked like he was confused as to why he couldn’t stop,” Harrison said. “I saw the car hop the curb and start plowing everything in its way,” he said.The crash toppled tables as it sent rubble flying. People scrambled to lift the SUV off those on the ground.
Duncan Bedlion, a D.C. police commander who runs the 2nd District station, described the driver as an older man who was alone in the vehicle. He was cooperating with investigators after the crash.
