A driver who drove a truck through Fourth of July celebrants at Manhattan's Corlears Hook Park, killing three, may have been inebriated, police said.

At least 11 people who were celebrating the July 4 holiday were struck by the truck on the Lower East Side, the authorities said.

Three people are dead, including a mother and son, and more than a half-dozen are injured after a suspected drunken driver blew through a stop sign, jumped a sidewalk and plowed into a Manhattan park where families were outside celebrating the fireworks Thursday night,
