ELLIJAY -- A car being shown at a north Georgia auto auction plowed into the crowd and injured more than two dozen people, leaving at least six with serious injuries. "It was a bloody mess," said witness Terry Hogan. "People was hurt bad." Georgia State Patrol spokesman Gordy Wright says the accelerator apparently stuck as the 1995 Volvo was being driven into the Blue Ridge Auction for dealers to bid on it Tuesday night. "It busted through the door at a fairly high rate of speed before it began striking the individuals who were there," said Sheriff Stacy Nicholson of Gilmer County. Six people were airlifted to hospitals with serious injuries, while eight more were driven to local hospitals. Thirteen were treated and released at the Blue Ridge Auto Auction, in Ellijay. Wright didn't have any more detailed information on injuries, but no deaths were immediately reported. The Gilmer County Sheriff's office says the car involved was a Volvo. The state patrol is investigating, but Wright said it was too early to speculate on whether charges could be filed.
