Charges pending against cab driver for accident

Two people remain hospitalized after a cab struck a crowd of pedestrians Saturday outside Camp Randall. 

 

 

 

The patients are in fair condition at UW Hospital according to the nurse supervisor. 

 

 

 

Police spokesman Larry Kamholz said the accident happened when the part-time cab driver attempted to help his female passenger open the back door. When he turned around the vehicle moved forward, at which point he accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.
