Matthew Small, 24, of Pawtucket, told the police he had just crossed Washington Street heading to Energy, a nightclub on Union Street, when he heard a loud bump. He saw a maroon pizza delivery car -- with a cartop sign identifying the company -- making a sharp turn from Washington Street onto Union Street. Small said the car climbed onto the sidewalk at the corner of Washington and Union streets.

Police officers on the scene said the driver of a gray Nissan with Massachusetts plates who was headed west on Washington Street reported that a car that appeared to match the description of the pizza delivery car had cut him off, and then two people hit his windshield. Officers said it appeared that the pizza delivery car hit the pedestrians, who were thrown onto the gray Nissan.
