In this edition of 'The Countdown,' we have more on the mayhem in Brooklyn where multiple people were struck by a U-Haul truck.
A man suspected of being emotionally disturbed and homeless got behind the wheel of the U-Haul and careened onto the sidewalk, sending pedestrians running and diving for their lives.
At least eight people were struck at several different locations as police desperately gave chase. (Update) One person has died from their injuries.
