George Colli, who heard the crash and rushed to the scene to help, told PIX11 at least some of the victims were migrants.

'This corner is right a block away from the Gramercy Training Academy where they have 300 to 400 immigrants sheltered, and that's not an area that has rooms, it's not a hotel,' he told the station.

'They often hang out on the street corners. This happened right at a LinkNYC Wi-Fi and charging station where many of the immigrants will go to make calls home, video, FaceTiming, and so on,' he said.
