Two people are dead and three others seriously injured after a driver lost control of his vehicle and struck pedestrians in Manhattan on Friday afternoon. The 61-year-old driver has been arrested, though authorities have not yet determined the cause of the crash.
Investigators are exploring multiple possibilities, including a medical emergency, mechanical failure, or other factors. Witnesses described erratic driving just before the incident, and officials have since reviewed surveillance footage, vehicle data, and statements. According to CBS News, there is currently no evidence suggesting a criminal or terrorist act. Roads in the area were temporarily closed as emergency crews secured the scene and gathered evidence. Authorities urge patience, emphasizing that a full investigation is underway to determine exactly what led to the tragedy.
