SUV intentionally plows into migrant workers, injuring 6 in North Carolina: police

The driver of an SUV appeared to intentionally plow into a group of migrant workers — wounding all six — outside a Walmart in North Carolina Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

The workers were all taken to a nearby hospital with various injuries after 1 p.m., though none of their wounds seemed to be life-threatening, the Lincolnton Police Department said in a news release.

The suspect behind the wheel in what police called an “intentional assault with a vehicle” has yet to be identified and remains at large.

Police are still investigating the suspect’s motives for the targeted attack.

Authorities said they were searching for an “older white male” who took off after ramming the migrants with his car.

Police also released images of the vehicle involved which appeared to be an older model of a mid-sized SUV with a luggage rack, authorities said.

“The motives of the suspect are still under investigation,” the police department said.

More information about the violent hit-and-run was not immediately available. 

The city of Lincolnton is about 40 miles from Charlotte.
