These box trucks need to be regulated...this is insane. No need for one when one can make the same trip with multiple pickup loads.


For a safer America...of course

Manhattan truck plows into cyclists; up to 6 dead, police sources say - CNN

The driver of a truck drove the wrong way down the West Side Highway bike path for several blocks on the lower west side of Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, striking people and leaving up to six people dead, according to two senior law enforcement sources at the New York Police Department.

The driver exited the vehicle displaying imitation firearms and was shot by police, according to the NYPD. The individual is in police custody and is being taken to the hospital for treatment, sources at the NYPD said, adding that police are considering terrorism as part of the investigation.

There were several fatalities and numerous people injured, NYPD said in a tweet. Two senior law enforcement sources added that it appears to be deliberate act.

After there were people saying the Vegas shooter had yelled "Alahu Akbar" and suspecting he was a Muslim terrorist one would think people would have learned to refrain from making hasty judgments so early after the incident.

Now, maybe this time he really was a Muslim terrorist, but if not some people here are going to look pretty stupid.

Listening to the radio now. Likely terrorism. Bearded guy shouted allahu akbar. Welcome to Europe.

Logical Fallacy. The party you are responding to did not make that argument.

Six people now reported dead ...nine injured.

I'm hearing the driver who did this is still alive, shot by police and is in custody. Good they got him before he tried to take his own life.

The video I'm seeing seems to indicate it was a pickup, not the box truck initially reported. I hate this rush to put things on the air before anything's been confirmed, the only thing that may be worse is how poorly aviation accidents are reported.
