At least eight pedestrians were killed and several others injured on Sunday when an SUV mowed down people near a homeless shelter that attends to migrants in Brownsville, Texas, police said.
The male driver was in custody, Lieutenant Martin Sandoval of the Brownsville Police Department said, adding that he was charged with reckless driving and could face additional charges.
Sandoval said the crash happened about 8:30 a.m. local time Sunday at a bus stop near the Ozanam Center in the Texan city bordering Mexico.
It was not clear if the driver had crashed into the group intentionally or lost control of the vehicle, Judge Eddie Trevino Jr. of Cameron County was quoted by the New York Times.
"We are doing an investigation in forms of intoxication to see if he was intoxicated at the time of the accident," said Sandoval on Fox News.
