Three people — including a 9-year-old girl — were killed when a car plowed into a group of trick-or-treaters in the Bronx Saturday, officials said.
The horrific Halloween scene unfolded just before 5 p.m. when a 57-year-old motorist behind the wheel of a
dark four-door Dodge careened onto the sidewalk on Morris Park Ave. near Bogart Ave. in Morris Park — straight into the path of a group of children looking for some holiday treats.
The car plowed through the group and smashed into a chain-link fence, officials said.
All of the children were in Halloween costumes, witnesses said.

A victim is taken away from the crash scene on a stretcher.
"Sad day … Just saw a bunch of ambulance trucks and policemen carry a little girl on a stretcher as she screamed,” tweeted witness Kayla Destiny Mojica.
As ambulances arrived, a 65-year-old man lay dead on the sidewalk, officials said.
A 9-year-old girl and a 24-year-old woman were rushed to Jacobi Hospital, but doctors were unable to save them, officials said.
