Baku, May 18, AZERTAC
An out-of-control car speeding the wrong way on Seventh Avenue plowed into several pedestrians in Times Square Thursday — killing one and injuring 19 others, authorities said, according to New York Daily News.
The driver Richard Rojas, 26, of the Bronx, was taken into custody.
He has two prior DWI arrests — and investigators believe he was driving while impaired, sources said.
The vehicle vaulted a curb and roared up the sidewalk for two more blocks, knocking down pedestrians along the way, authorities and witnesses said.
