A car drove into Fenway Park on Monday morning and crashed into a forklift that was working inside the historic ballpark, Boston Red Sox officials said. The same vehicle was involved in multiple crashes earlier in the morning, including in the area of Boylston and Exeter Streets in Back Bay and at the United States Coast Guard base in Boston, according to state police. The car entered through Gate C at approximately 8:30 a.m. while the forklift was working to remove staging from a weekend event, the team said. Two ambulances were seen outside Fenway Park on Lansdowne Street early Monday morning following the reported crash, and a tow truck arrived after they departed.The driver of the car was taken away by ambulance.NewsCenter 5's traffic camera saw the tow truck backing into Gate C just after 9 a.m. The tow truck reemerged without a vehicle attached, but a sedan backed out from the gate and was hooked up to the tow truck on Lansdowne Street. "When we went by the first time, the front end of the car was actually lifted off the ground by the forklift," Troy Peterson, a witness, said. "When we went back by, they had lifted the car back down onto the ground, but the forklift was still butted up against the front end of our car.""Thankfully, no injuries were reported on the scene," a Red Sox spokesperson said. "The driver of the vehicle has been arrested by Boston Police who were on site for the loadout."State police said the vehicle was registered to Colleen Marie Gibbs, 48, of Salem, who authorities said was also believed to be the operator.Video below: Sedan removed from Fenway Park after reported crashA Massachusetts State Police spokesperson said police were involved in two responses early Monday morning, prior to those crashes, involving the operator and vehicle in question.At 7:03 a.m., a driver in the area of Ocean Avenue and Revere Street told police that a vehicle, later determined to be a 2024 Honda Accord, was being operated erratically and aggressively in the area. State police say a trooper activated his cruiser's lights and siren and attempted to stop the Honda, but the vehicle refused to stop. "Because of the density of the area no pursuit was initiated," the spokesperson said. At 7:30 a.m. state troopers responded to a hit and run crash at the entrance to the Ted Williams Tunnel in East Boston. Police say the same driver who fled from the trooper in Revere struck two vehicles at the entrance to the tunnel and fled. State police said they'll seek charges for the motor vehicle offenses committed by the suspect in Revere and East Boston, while Boston police would be responsible for seeking charges in the Coast Guard and Fenway Park incidents. In a written statement, the U.S. Coast Guard said "a gate was struck at Coast Guard Base Boston and the individual is currently in the custody of the Boston Police."A witness at the Coast Guard said the woman drove through the main gate, which was in the open position at the time, through the facility, and out a closed metal gate.Police say the driver also ran over a worker's foot on Brookline Ave. and hit him with her mirror before driving around Fenway multiple times and heading into Gate C. Police say they found no signs of drugs or alcohol on the woman or in her car. She is being held at the hospital for a section 12 mental health evaluation and will be summoned to court at a later date. The Red Sox do not play Monday. They're scheduled to face the Braves in Atlanta on Tuesday and Wednesday before returning to Boston on Friday to host the Nationals.Since 1912, Fenway Park has been home to the Boston Red Sox, one of the most storied franchises in American sports. It is the oldest venue used by any professional sports team in the United States and one of the few remaining fields from the early 20th-century's "Golden Age of Ballparks."Fenway is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
