We just had a 26 year old driver, drive his car north, on the sidewalk, from 42nd St. to 45th St. and 7th Ave.
It has been reported that he struck 23 pedestrians, killing one. The young woman who died is a tourist from Argentina. The event took place at 11;54 A.M. in Times Square.
The driver tried to flee but was tackled by a traffic agent and was assisted by a few civilians. The police have arrested Richard Rojas and are taking him for drug and alcohol testing. Mr Rojas has a criminal record, including 2 arrests for drinking and driving.
