EDT on October 31, 2017, a man drove south along West Street in Lower Manhattan in a flatbed pickup truck that he had rented at a New Jersey Home Depot. At Houston Street, he swerved onto Hudson River Greenway, Hudson River Park's protected bike lane, parallel to West Street,[2] and entered the bike lane. He ran over multiple people in the bikeway, mainly bicyclists, killing eight people and injuring at least 11 others along a one-mile stretch.[1][8][9][10]
