A statement from the Royal Solomon Islands police said a land cruiser was being chased by police outside the capital Honiara for driving dangerously.
The police said there were parked vehicles and a car on the main bridge, so the chased driver chose to use an old where a group was fundraising.
After ploughing into the crowd, the driver fled but has now been arrested.
The vehicle was later burnt down to ashes.
