ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A man who died after crashing
an SUV loaded with gas cans outside an upstate New
York concert venue appeared to have been aiming at a
pedestrian crossing, but investigators have found no
evidence that the crash that killed two ride-hail
passengers early on New Year's Day was terror-
related, police said Tuesday.
Rochester police Chief David Smith told a news
conference that the suspect in the crash, tentatively
identified as Michael Avery of the Syracuse area, may
have suffered from undiagnosed mental health
problems. But officials say the motive remains
unknown.
“I have been getting inundated with questions as to
why this individual would choose ... Rochester, New
York, why he would choose to do this on New Year’s
Day, and why he would appear to target concert goers
trying to have a great time to bring in the new
year,” Mayor Malik Evans said. “Those are all
questions that have been raised, and things that we
just don’t have answers to yet.”

The crash happened shortly before 1 a.m. Monday as
officers were directing traffic after a concert by a
Grateful Dead tribute band let out at the Kodak
Center theater complex.
A Ford Expedition struck a Mitsubishi Outlander,
sending both vehicles through a group of pedestrians
that were in the crosswalk.
Two passengers in the Outlander were killed. Avery
died last night, according to Smith. At least nine
pedestrians were injured, one with “life-altering”
injuries, officials said.
The collision caused a blaze that took the fire
department more than an hour to extinguish.
