At least three people died at the height of July 4 celebrations after a driver suspected of operating his truck under the influence of alcohol plowed into a park on the Lower East Side and struck 10 people, police and city officials said. The gray pickup truck blew through a stop sign near Water Street and Jackson Street before jumping the sidewalk and flying into Corlears Hook Park around 9 p.m., NYPD brass said at a late-night press conference. The park had been filled with families enjoying the holiday when the truck moved in and a high-rate of speed and struck 10 people. First responders quickly made it to the scene around found four people trapped underneath the truck. Crews worked to lift the truck and extricate the injured revelers as quickly as possible. Multiple victims were transported to hospitals in the area, but at least three people died from their injuries, senior law enforcement officials told News 4. The driver appeared to have alcohol on his breath, according to NYPD Chief of Department Jeff Maddrey. Investigators believe that alcohol played a role in the tragic incident and said investigators did not believe it was terror-related.

Weed isn't nearly as bad, but you're still an irresponsible dick if you drive high. With that said ~legalize it~

Yea. It is why I haven't forgiven Justin Timberlake. This story is what can happen with drunk drivers.

Bars are bad ultimately in a country where people are dependent on cars.

He's rich. He should always have a designated driver.

Apparently the story had a plot twist as more details came out. The drunk driver is a substance-abuse counselor who wrote The Sober Addict

Doubt. Prison booze is easy to get ahold of.

I'd be fine If they went away OR had some major changes one of two or both every bar makes you hand over keys to be put in a lock box and has their own taxi service and/or motel

Went to rehab with a substance abuse counselor. She was in for booze and cocain. It honestly surprised me how common that combo was. Apparently the coke is specifically used just so they can keep their head up and drink more
