“A driver has rammed several cyclists and pedestrians on a street in New Orleans. Two people were killed and six injured, three of them critically, reports CNN.”

“The 32-year-old driver continued vansinnesfärden several blocks before he tried to escape. He was stopped, however, by civilians at the scene and was arrested then by the police. The man is suspected now of two counts of manslaughter, hit-and-run and reckless driving, writes the police on Twitter.”

“the Incident occurred at the same time as the festival of Mardi Gras going on in the city. But according to police the incident probably not related to the festival.”
