Read about it in the Daily Sun and you see plainly that the car jumped the curb, hit a planter box by the curb and stopped. It appears from the photo that the car only went inches onto the sidewalk.

Where is the "wild ride across the square" and how does jumping the curb and coming to rest several inches on the sidewalk amount to "plowing through the square"?

Yes, some pedestrians might have been injured if this had happened a few hours later but the sensational story of a car driving wildly across the square is completely false!
Are you basing your statement simply on looking at the picture, or did you speak to eyewitnesses who observed the incident in its entirety?
