A car crashed into Fenway Park's Gate C on Lansdowne Street on Monday morning, striking a forklift driver in the process, according to Frank O'Laughlin of Boston 25 News.

Massachusetts state police said the suspect, 48-year-old Colleen Marie Gibbs, first struck two vehicles in the Ted Williams Tunnel and later crashed at the USGC base on Hanover Street. No passengers in the vehicles struck in the Ted Williams Tunnel sustained injuries.

Gibbs also reportedly fled a police checkpoint in Revere, per Asher Klein of NBC Boston.

A tow truck had to remove Gibbs' 2024 Honda Accord from the gate she crashed through at Fenway Park. The forklift driver had been on scene to remove staging from an event that took place over the weekend at the historic ballpark.

The car's driver was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Klein. No other injuries were reported at the scene.

"The driver of the vehicle has been arrested by Boston Police who were on site for the loadout," a Boston Red Sox spokesperson said in a statement.

Both state and city police are investigating the events.

The Red Sox are currently on a road trip, beginning a two-game series against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. The team will return to Boston for a seven-game homestand against the Washington Nationals and Tampa Bay Rays starting on Friday.
