At least one person was killed and nearly two dozen hurt when a wrong-way driver slammed into a crowd of pedestrians in Times Square Thursday.
Early indications from law enforcement sources are that the incident is an isolated one and not connected to terrorism. Even so, with a recent history of deadly car-versus-pedestrian terror incidents around the world, the initial law enforcement response was intense, perhaps fearing the worst.
