(CNN) — At least three people were killed when a person suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol drove into a park in Manhattan’s Lower East Side during an Independence Day celebration.
A group celebrating the holiday was struck by a gray Ford F-150 when it ran through an intersection, and into Corlears Hook Park at about 9 p.m., New York Police Department Chief Jeffrey Maddrey told reporters Thursday night.
Two of the people who were struck were reported dead at the scene Maddrey said.
A third death was reported later, according to CNN affiliates WABC, WCBS and WNBC. At least six others were injured.
Based on a preliminary investigation, it appears that the driver was under the influence, Mayor Eric Adams told reporters Thursday night, adding that the incident didn’t appear to be terror-related.
Police said they believe alcohol may have been a factor.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
