An apparent drunken driving incident on the Lower East Side claimed the lives of three people and left several others injured after they were struck by a pickup truck, officials said. 

The crash happened shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday at Corlears Hook Park, according to police. 

NYPD officials said Daniel Hyden, 44, of Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, drove a gray Ford F-150 pickup truck through the intersection of Water and Cherry streets, veering onto the sidewalk where a crowd was gathered to celebrate the Fourth of July. 

The vehicle struck multiple people, some of whom were pinned underneath. Bystanders also held Hyden at the scene to prevent him from fleeing until officers arrived, authorities said. 

Hyden was charged Friday with aggravated vehicular homicide, eight counts of assault, three counts of driving while intoxicated, and aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle in the second-degree, according to police. 

Lucille Pinkney, 59, and her son Hernan Pinkney, 38, residents of NYCHA's Vladeck Houses on the Lower East Side, were pronounced dead at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue and NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital after the crash, according to police.

Another woman, Ana Morel, 43, of East Harlem, also died at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue. Additionally, one person remains in critical condition, while seven others are now stable, according to police.

“I really want to just give sympathy to the families — not only the families, the victims of this incident, but even the people were here in the park who were celebrating on a beautiful Fourth of July evening,” said NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey.
