Seven people are confirmed dead after a van crashed near New York’s Bronx Zoo on Sunday afternoon.

The van drove off an overpass of the Bronx River Parkway and three of the victims were children.

Police say the van was headed south Sunday afternoon around 12.30pm on the Bronx River Parkway, a highway in the north of the city.

Fire department sources told DNA Info that the van fell 50 to 60 feet and landed in the Zoo.

The Associated Press tells the story differently, saying the van bounced off the median, crossed all southbound lanes over to the guardrail and fell 150 feet.
