At least seven people were killed and multiple left injured after a car struck a group of people outside a migrant shelter in Brownsville, Texas.
Police initially said they believed the driver of the Range Rover 'intentionally' plowed into pedestrians waiting at the bus stop outside the Ozanam Center at 8.20am on Sunday, but later clarified they are still investigating the incident.
The driver, who witnesses said was yelling insults at the group before accelerating towards the curb, is undergoing testing to see if he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the tragic crash.
Police arrested him at the bloody scene in the border town and charged him with reckless driving but more charges may follow as FBI and Border Patrol agents are brought in investigate.
Footage from the aftermath showed multiple injured people lying on the ground in bloodied clothing while emergency services rushed to the scene.
The suspect is currently in hospital being treated for injuries, but he is under police watch.
Video circulating online shows the SUV running up the curb where a group of about 25 men were sitting at a bus stop, toppling them over one-by-one.
'What we see in the video is that this SUV just ran the red light and was about 100 feet away and just went through the people who were sitting in the bus stop,' shelter director Victor Maldonado told the Associated Press.
The SUV then apparently flipped over after running up the curb and continued moving for about 200 feet, striking others who were walking on the sidewalk about 30 feet away from where the group was sitting.
The driver then tried to flee the scene, Moldonado told the Washington Post, but was stopped by some witnesses.

Ban assault vehicles.
Imho this is a false flag attack, a diversion from what is occurring. This attack was made to take the heat off the fact tens of thousands of military age men are coming across out southern border daily. The powerful want Americans to remain at sleep so the attacks to kill Americans may begin in earnest imho
Dang - needed this guy to run over the shooter at the Outlet Mall... :-(
