As the driver charged with crashing
into a community Halloween event awaits his court appearance,
people in this Bushwick neighborhood
are still recovering from what happened.
That's just really terrifying.
I feel like we have to work harder
to make safer spaces for kids to enjoy and be kids.
Six people, including three children,
were hurt after police say a drunk driver,
now identified as Michael Marsh,
jumped the sidewalk outside the 83rd precinct yesterday afternoon.
The car hit an ambulance, causing a chain reaction that struck people.
So, attending the Truck or Treat events,
one man saw the kids having fun as he was walking
home, then heard about what happened shortly after.
I'm watching TV and I say, wow, something's going on.
Someone hit the car, ambulance, a lot of people, a lot of people.
Investigators say Marsh wasn't wearing a seatbelt
and his blood alcohol level was above the
legal limit.
Police tell us there was also a woman in the car
who was released on a summons.
The victims were taken to the hospital for treatment,
and police say they're recovering in stable condition.
Happened here, no one was seriously injured or,
you know, but that's awful.
Wow.
But the crash is also raising safety concerns in the area.
Why they do this and close to the really heavy traffic there?
That's a Niki Walker. It's a heavy traffic.
So why they don't go inside there?
You see this lot here. That is parking lot.
They can go in there.
Marsh was arrested and is facing multiple charges,
including vehicular assault and DWI.
