The New York Police Department closed off the area after the collisions occurred on on Thursday, just before noon, at the corner of 45th Street and Broadway. At least ten people people were being treated for injuries on the ground after the collision at the Midtown Manhattan tourist site, the FDNY confirmed on Twitter. One person was seriously injured. A photograph taken by one witness showed a maroon sedan, wreathed in steam or smoke, propped up on bollards. One dead victim - a woman - was seen lying on the sidewalk, her face covered with a sheet. Others, sprawled on the sidewalk, were being tended to by first responders and other pedestrians. At least seven were being seen loaded onto stretchers, a witness said. It's not known whether the incident was intentional, but NBC reported that police are leaning towards it being an accident. The 26-year-old suspect has a history of drunk-driving incidents and he was 'visually impaired' according to officers on the scene, they reported. He was heading in the wrong direction up Seventh Avenue when he mounted the kerb and began striking pedestrians. 'Just witnessed a car running people over in times square. scariest moment of my life. what is wrong with some people?!' wrote Twitter user Michael Rickerby, according to the New York Post. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is on his way to Times Square to assess the situation and is expected to arrive later in the afternoon, NBC reported.(FA)
