New Orleans Car Attack Kills 10, Dozens Injured, Media Reports
13:59 01.01.2025 (Updated: 17:35 01.01.2025) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - According to the data, the US, with its extensive road network and high driver population, experiences the highest number of car accidents globally. In 2018, over two million crashes caused more than three million injuries and 37,000 fatalities.
At least 10
people were killed and dozens were injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd in US’s New Orleans.
"There are 30 injured patients that have been transported by NOEMS [New Orleans Emergency Medical Services] and 10 fatalities," the city authorities were quoted by ABC News as saying.
The driver, who was reportedly acting on purpose, is confirmed dead, a council member of New Orleans City, Oliver Thomas, said.
"I am at the UMCNO [University Medical Center New Orleans] emergency room now praying for the victims and first responders of last night’s mass casualty on Bourbon Street. Thank you to the entire LCMCHealth team who has brought the officers involved here to stable condition. We know the perpetrator has been killed," he said on X.
The FBI has confirmed the death of the suspect who drove a
car into pedestrians in New Orleans, killing 10. The Bureau is classifying the event as a terrorist attack.
Earlier, the FBI said improvised explosive devices were found at the scene where 10 people were killed.
The White House stated that outgoing US President
Joe Biden has been updated on the car ramming incident in New Orleans.
"President Biden has been briefed on the horrific news that a driver killed and injured dozens of individuals in New Orleans overnight and the White House has been in touch with New Orleans Mayor Cantrell to offer support. The FBI is already on the ground supporting local law enforcement in the investigation and the President will continue to be briefed throughout the day," the White House said in a statement.
CBS News reported earlier in the day that a driver on a truck struck a
crowd of people in New Orleans and opened fire. According to the eyewitnesses, the truck at high speed crashed into the crowd on Bourbon Street, after which the driver came out of the car and started shooting, with police reportedly returning fire.
