A spokesperson from the NYPD said: "We don't have details as of yet. It looks more like an out of control vehicle - a vehicle that lost control than anything else at this point."
Asked if it was terror-related he added: "This is very preliminary. We don't have any details yet but on the information that we've got so far it looks more like an out of control vehicle at this time."
