Clothing vendor Kris Pangilinan told The Associated Press that he heard what sounded "like an F1 car about to start a race" immediately followed by screams. He said he could hear the sound of bodies hitting the hood of the SUV as it sped through the street.

"All I can remember is seeing bodies flying up in the air higher than the food trucks themselves and landing on the ground and people yelling and screaming," he said.

Adonis Quita, who was with his 9-year-old son, told the AP that the vehicle struck families waiting in line for food.

"He just pushed the gas all the way through the whole block ... crashing into everyone in his way," another witness said on NBC’s "TODAY" show.

That is insane, holy cow.
