A cab slammed into a crowd at a taxi staging area near Boston's Logan International Airport on Monday, injuring at least 10 people and triggering fears of terrorism that appeared to be unfounded.

Boston EMS tweeted that 10 people were transported to hospitals. Police said the injuries ranged from severe to minor.

"At this preliminary point in the investigation, there is no information that suggests the crash was intentional," Massachusetts State Police said in a statement. Police said the cab was seized as part of the investigation and that the 56-year-old driver, from nearby Cambridge, was interviewed.

The crash took place at about 1:40 p.m. ET at a large parking lot for cabs. Photos from the scene showed a white Metro Cab that appeared to have slammed into a building.

"Units on scene, vehicle into a group of pedestrians, Porter St at Tomahawk Driver, East Boston, near Logan taxi pool. Injuries," the State Police said in a tweet.

Then minutes later: "Preliminary reports indicate several pedestrians with injuries, varying severity."

The Logan Taxi Pool pool is a staging area where drivers wait to be signaled into the airport to pick up fares. There were more than 300 cabs in the pool 35 minutes before the crash took place, the Logan Taxi Pool tweeted out at 1:10 p.m. After the crash the pool tweeted that it was closed until further notice.

The sprawling airport covers 1,700 acres and dubs itself as a "city within a city." The airport has its own fire department, a police department, a power plant, two hotels, a chapel.
