A woman is recovering at a local San Diego hospital after being hit by a car during Comic Con's annual "Zombie Walk."
The San Diego Police Department told "Entertainment Tonight" that a 64-year-old woman "sustained serious arm injuries" after a male driver struck her with his car during the "Zombie Walk" at Comic Con in Southern California - where thousands of individuals dressed up as the living dead, replicating the characters from AMC's "The Walking Dead".
The driver, who was in the car with his deaf family, was trying to leave the area when his two children grew fearful of the large crowd of people walking through the streets on Saturday, at around 5:30 P.M.
The police said "the 48-year-old male driver slowly rolled forward trying to get out of the area," as the mob became more and more agitated. They "surrounded and began punching the car." A separate report stated that one individual smashed the windshield.
"The family was scared so the father drove forward again trying to get away from the angry crowd," Officer David Stafford said, according to "ET."
As the driver moved forward, he accidentally struck the woman, who was later reported to be a pedestrian and not a walker in the march. Participants came to her aid, escorting the woman to a local hospital. A crowd immediately followed the driver as he searched for a police officer, but no arrests were made.
Two other people were also left with minor injuries.
The organizers of "Zombie Walk" tweeted their condolences to the victim, saying they would try to collect funds to help the victim.
"We will find out info and set up fund to help with reward and/or med $," one post read.
The "Zombie Walk" is considered one of the high points of the annual convention.
