Late Monday morning, the driver of a U-Haul struck and injured multiple pedestrians in Brooklyn, New York. We reported on the incident previously. At that point, there were four confirmed victims and the driver had been apprehended.

Police now advise that at least eight pedestrians were injured, with two having been transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Additionally, the driver has been identified as a 62-year-old homeless man.

BAY RIDGE, Brooklyn (WABC) — Multiple people were struck and injured by a U-Haul truck in Brooklyn right before the driver told police he wanted to die.

The suspect is a 62-year-old homeless man and may have been living in the U-Haul truck, according to police.

When they attempted to pull him over he said “shoot me, I’m not stopping” and that he “wanted to die.”

That’s when he fled the scene and drove onto the sidewalk.

ABC7 shared video of the truck jumping the curb and racing down the sidewalk, as a male pedestrian on the sidewalk leaps out of the way to avoid being struck:

If you watch closely, at the beginning of the video, a motorcyclist appears to lay down his bike in an attempt to avoid the truck.
