Car Plows Into Pedestrians in Times Square; 1 Dead

One person was killed and 22 more were injured after a speeding car veered onto the sidewalk in New York City's Times Square on Thursday and plowed through a crowd of pedestrians before crashing and appearing to catch fire, reports Reuters. A man behind the wheel of the red Honda was taken into custody at the scene, reports CBS News; he's since been identified as 26-year-old Richard Rojas of the Bronx. Rojas appeared to be impaired, officials said; he has two prior convictions for drunk driving, reports the New York Times. "Based on information we have at this moment, there is no indication that this was an act of terrorism," Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference. "People were being hit and rolling off the car," one witness tells Reuters. (More Times Square stories.)
