At least three people were killed and six people injured after a suspected drunk driver crashed a Ford F-150 pickup truck into a Manhattan park Thursday night during the July 4th celebrations, police said.

Police have publicly identified two of the victims so far as 59-year-old Lucille Pickney and 38-year-old Hernan Pickney.

The New York City Police Department said the incident occurred shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday on the Lower East Side.

NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey said the driver had been speeding down Water Street and went through a stop sign at the intersection of Water and Cherry streets. The truck went onto the sidewalk and crashed into Corlears Hook Park.
