A drunk driver allegedly mowed down 10 people — killing three — who were celebrating the Fourth of July on the Lower East Side Thursday, cops and police sources said.

Daniel Hyden, 44, of the Bronx, was charged with DWI early Friday, with further charges expected for the horror smash, sources told The Post.

The dead were identified by police as Lucille Pinkney, 59, and her son Hernan Pinkney, 38 — who lived together near the crash scene — while the third remained unidentified early Friday.





The other seven injured included a mother and her 11-year-old son, according to sources.

Over the past several years, there has been an increase each year in the number of fatal truck accidents that occur. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), one of the most critical reasons for this increase is due to rising speed limits. In 1995, many states began increasing highway speed limits from 55 to 65 mph, and quite a few have since increased their highway speed limit to 70 mph. In Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming, there are some areas where the speed limit is 80 mph. Kansas, Nebraska, and several other states have a 75-mph speed limit.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

School bus driver Kenneth Corbin was honored as a hero by local South Carolina officials for keeping his cool during an armed hijacking on May 6, 2021. However, Corbin insists he was simply doing his job and that the real heroes are the 18 children who were on board the bus during the high-pressure encounter. According to ABC News, Corbin—who has been driving school buses for Richland School District Two for the last few years—was on his normal bus route on the day of the incident when a man ran onto the bus, pointed a rifle at him and ordered him to drive to the next town.
