Emergency crews were called to A Brighter Rainbow Learning Center at 862 Boston Road just before 5:30 p.m. after getting word that a Subaru Outback driven by a 38-year-old Billerica woman crashed into the building, hitting and pinning a toddler.

"We were pulling off aluminum siding, we were trying to get to the kids because we heard screaming," witness Kathy Jones said. "We didn't know what to expect."

The woman had been driving north on Boston Road when she suffered a medical emergency, police said.



She hit several parked cars on the shoulder of the plaza at 880 Boston Road then drove onto the curb, hit a fence and crashed into the side of the day care building.

The vehicle crashed through the wall and into the main child care area, police said. Four children were in the building at the time and at least three others were outside in the play area.

"I saw the day care come up on the news right in the front room where she sits," parent Mitchell Scott said. "My heart just dropped."

Scott's drive to the day care with this wife was the longest of their lives, not knowing if their 15-month-old was safe.

Scott and his wife said it was the most important thing when someone handed their daughter to them, unharmed.

Officials said the toddler who was pinned was alert and conscious when he was pulled from under the vehicle, and was taken to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington.

Two other children were treated for injuries at the scene.

The driver of the vehicle was also taken to Lahey with non-life-threatening injuries.

The incident remains under investigation.
