BAY RIDGE, Brooklyn (PIX11) — The man fatally struck by a U-Haul in Brooklyn on Monday as a driver allegedly sped through city streets hitting people was a single dad, Mayor Eric Adams said.

“He leaves behind children,” Adams said Tuesday. “He was a single father raising those children on his own.”
Several others were hit as Weng Sor allegedly went on a “rampage” through Brooklyn, police said. He was charged Tuesday with murder in the second degree and seven counts of attempted murder.
