A couple was killed and numerous others injured just hours into the New Year when a car filled with explosives barreled into a crowd of people leaving a rock concert in upstate New York, police said.
The fiery crash occurred at 12:50 a.m. outside the Kodak Center in Rochester, where roughly 1,000 people were filing out after a New Year’s Eve moe. show.
Rochester officers were helping pedestrians cross the street when a Ford Expedition sped toward the mob, but smashed instead into an Uber that was pulling out of a nearby parking lot, law enforcement sources said.
“The force of the collision caused the two vehicles to go through a group of pedestrians that were in the crosswalk and then into two other vehicles,” police Chief David Smith said at a press conference.
The cars exploded into an intense blaze that took the fire department nearly one hour to extinguish.
A couple riding inside the Uber were killed, while their driver was rushed to the hospital in non-life threatening condition, sources and police said.
Three pedestrians were struck by the flying cars — one of whom was left clinging to life.
The driver who tried to mow down the crowd was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
He died of his injuries around 8 p.m. Monday and was identified as Michael Avery, law enforcement sources told The Post.
After the fire was extinguished, investigators found at least a dozen gasoline canisters scattered across the pavement and inside the Expedition, according to Smith.
The incident is being investigated as possible domestic terrorism.

I live in NY and this is the first I am hearing of this. Are they protecting the open border regime?
“...possible...”
ya think?
“The driver who tried to mow down the crowd...”
An unusually clear phrase.
Surprised this got past the editors.
NO NAMES FOR THE KILLERS?
WTF ?!?!?!
Gasoline isn’t an explosive.

“...NO NAMES FOR THE KILLERS...”
Best guess is someone probably named “Mohammed”...
Thanks for posting.
Idiots here and across the globe think if muzzies finished Israel, we would be at peace with them. Idiots.
Yeah, the article is incomplete. What kind of explosives?
‘Michael Avery’.
Like the Chinese guy at the restaurant I went to who had the name ‘Steve’ because his name was too hard to pronounce.
From the article:
The driver who tried to mow down the crowd was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
He died of his injuries around 8 p.m. Monday and was identified as Michael Avery, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Another source said jugs of gasoline. Make a nasty fire if he’d lit them off, but that didn’t happen. “Explosives” makes it sound like he had dynamite or TNT or C4.
Great. ID and number of
gallons purchased.
ICE vehicles now become
weapons of mass destruction.
Xidenskyyyyy’s new Built Back Butthead Amerika. Foreign and domestic student loan deadbeats driving around with explosives in their cars and the jackasses in the gubmit are worried about law-abiding Americans owning “semi-automatic” rifles.
