  • At least four people were taken to local hospitals and were reported in stable condition, though officials have not detailed the extent of their injuries.
  • Officers arrested the driver at the scene and have not released the person’s name or motive for the incident.
  • The Dallas Police Department said the incident is under active investigation and has not yet determined whether the vehicle action was intentional or accidental.
