The unidentified driver who plowed into eight people in California on Tuesday may have rammed the group "intentionally," officials said, noting the driver made no attempt to break and allegedly steered toward the pedestrians -- including a 13-year-old girl. After striking the group, the car continued on for a few more yards before slamming into a tree near a shopping center, heavily damaging the sedan's front windshield and hood. The Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety said the incident happened around 6:40 p.m. as the driver was heading west on El Camino Real towards the city of Mountain View. The crash prompted a massive law enforcement response that shut down about a half block of El Camino Real. Two lanes of westbound El Camino Real will be open until investigators cleared the scene.
