Authorities say a man driving a U-Haul truck struck and injured several people in New York City before police were able to pin the vehicle against a building
Police vehicles surround a truck that was stopped and the driver arrested, Monday, Feb. 13, 2023, in New York. Police stopped the U-Haul truck and detained the driver after reports that the vehicle struck multiple pedestrians in New York City on Monday. Authorities say the driver of the truck fled the scene after mounting a sidewalk in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn and injuring several people.
The truck sped through the Bay Ridge neighborhood before police stopped it more than 3 miles away, near the entrance to a tunnel leading from Brooklyn to Manhattan. The first report of a truck crashing into pedestrians and cyclists came in at 10:30 a.m., police said, and other reports followed as the vehicle moved through a busy section of Brooklyn.
A security camera video showed the truck clip a scooter, then swerve onto a sidewalk and nearly plow into a pedestrian, who dived to safety just in time. A police patrol car then followed the truck down the sidewalk at high speed. It’s popularly known as the setting of the 1977 John Travolta film “Saturday Night Fever,” and as the home of the police commissioner played by Tom Selleck on TV’s “Blue Bloods.” Each fall, it hosts a leg of the New York City Marathon.
