MARYSVILLE, Wash. - A flower delivery van went out of control and slammed into three pedestrians outside a fast-food restaurant Wednesday afternoon in Marysville.

Police said the City Floral van was making its way through the drive-through when it suddenly jumped the curb striking three young people - an 18-year-old woman and two men aged 19 and 22 - who were waiting at a bus stop.

The woman was pinned under the vehicle. Several men lifted the van up and someone pulled out the woman, who suffered serious leg and head injuries.

The woman was airlifted to Seattle's Harborview Medical Center and the two men were transported with non-life-threatening injuries to a local hospital.

Marysville Police said the van was in the Dairy Queen drive-through at 4th and State Street when the 68-year-old driver's accelerator got stuck.

Video from the scene showed two people strapped to backboards and loaded into ambulances.

The van belongs to Everett-based City Florist.
