A suspect is in custody, and being investigated for driving while intoxicated, CBS says. Cops say the suspect, identified by the NYPD as 26-year-old Bronx resident Richard Rojas, has a history of two DWIs. They say he made a sudden U-Turn at 42nd St and 7th Avenue, driving up a sidewalk until he hit a traffic pole at 45th St. Police are scheduled to test him for drugs and alcohol. Officials currently believe that this is NOT connected to terrorism.
The investigation is ongoing, and LawNewz.com will update should additional details become available.
