NEW YORK (AP) — Police in New York City are still trying to determine what caused a motorist to jump a curb and hit trick-or-treaters, killing three, and if the man should face charges.
Police Commissioner William Bratton said Monday that investigators were focusing on the medical history of the 52-year-old driver in the crash that killed a 10-year-old girl, her grandfather and a third person. He said there were reports that he’s had seizures in the past.
Police say a preliminary investigation showed the car wasn’t speeding. They also say no drugs or alcohol were found in the driver’s system.
The black Dodge Charger plowed into the pedestrians on a Bronx sidewalk Saturday evening. Witnesses described hearing screams and seeing a trail of mangled bodies in crumpled, bloodied costumes.
