AUSTIN, Texas — One person is dead and at least four others are injured after a vehicle drove into the emergency room at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center on Tuesday evening around 5:38 p.m.

Austin-Travis County EMS said four people have been transported to different hospitals. As of around 6 p.m., medics were conducting CPR on one adult patient.

In an update around 6:30 p.m., ATCEMS said two children and one adult were taken to Dell Children's Medical Center. One of the children had potentially serious injuries, while the other child and the adult had non-life-threatening injuries. A second adult was taken to Round Rock Medical Center with potentially serious injuries.

Austin officials believe the incident appears to be an accident, with a motorist driving into the ER. There are no indications that the crash was an intentional act, a top city official told KVUE's Tony Plohetski preliminarily.
