1 dead, 2 injured after pedestrians hit in Chinatown in NYC, police say

One pedestrian died, and two others were injured after being struck by a vehicle in Manhattan's Chinatown Thursday morning. 

Firefighters said they got a call at 10:20 a.m. reporting the incident at Bowery and Canal Street.

Video from the scene showed crime scene tape blocking off part of a street with a large truck carrying pallets of wood. Part of the truck's windshield was smashed, and it had multiple flat tires. 

Police said the truck was traveling westbound on Canal Street when it turned right towards Bowery but mounted the curb, hitting the three pedestrians on the sidewalk. It then continued to travel on Hester Street, police said. 

One of the victims, a 77-year-old man, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The two other victims, both female, were hospitalized in stable condition. 

The driver of the truck, a 66-year-old man, is in custody.
