Three people were killed and at least nine others injured, four critically, when a pickup truck drove into a group celebrating the Fourth of July holiday in New York City, authorities said.
Police have identified 44-year-old Daniel Hyden, of New Jersey, as the driver behind the deadly collision. Hyden was allegedly driving a gray Ford F-150 that came down a street “at a high rate of speed” shortly before 9pm on Thursday. The truck went through an intersection and past a stop sign, drove on to the sidewalk and into Corlears Hook Park on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Jeffrey Maddrey, the New York police department chief, said during a news conference.
He has been charged with driving under the influence and driving without a valid license, CBS News reported.
Hyden reportedly works as a substance abuse counselor in New York and serves as a program director for three residential programs in Manhattan, according to a public LinkedIn page that matches Hyden’s arrest mugshot and an NBC News report.
“My mission is to use my lifelong experience with addiction to teach addicts how to save themselves and achieve long term recovery,” Hyden wrote on LinkedIn.
