A father and son are the only two victims who remain hospitalized Sunday after an Oxon Hill woman injured 38 — including seven children — by plowing her station wagon through a street fair in Southeast Washington on Saturday night.

Mayor Adrian Fenty said if it were not for acts of heroism by festival attendees and police, many more than 38 would have suffered injuries at the Unifest Food and Music Festival. The event is sponsored by a church in Anacostia and held along Martin Luther King Avenue.

“Although this is a terrible tragedy, there were some unbelievable heroics,” Fenty said Sunday at Children’s Hospital in Northwest Washington. “I can’t believe we’re actually saying everyone is going to pull through.”

Fenty was at the hospital to visit 4-year-old Marcellus Jackson, who had a broken leg. His father, Vincent Hayes, suffered a broken toe when a car struck him head-on at 8 p.m. Saturday after he pushed his son out of its path.

Children’s Chief of Surgery Tony Sandler said he expected Marcellus to be discharged today.

Meanwhile, police have charged 30-year old Tonya Bell, the driver of the car, with aggregated assault, according to Police Commander Patrick Burke. He said police are conducting a background check and a toxicology test to determine whether she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol,

A 7-year old girl in the car at the time of the incident was taken into protective services, Burke said. He would not confirm the girl’s relationship to Bell.

Burke said police believe Bell had struck a police cruiser investigating a robbery close to the scene about 30 minutes before she stormed the street festival. He could not confirm reports that a car similar to the one Bell drove has struck cars in Maryland earlier Saturday.

The incident occurred at 13th and W streets. Officials said attendees pushed people out of the way of the car, as police officers flung bicycles and scooters into the path of the vehicle in an attempt to stop it.
