Three NYC July 4th Revelers Killed by Suspected Drunk Driver

Three people were killed and eight more injured in Manhattan when a suspected drunk driver plowed a Ford pickup truck into a group of people celebrating the Fourth of July in a park on the Lower East Side.

“We had a tragic incident that took place here,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during a media briefing at the scene shortly after the incident Thursday night. “A driver drove into a crowd of people who were actually just celebrating like so many New Yorkers and Americans are doing right now.”
