Rabia Qureshi, a tourist visiting
from Wisconsin, told broadcaster KSNV she saw victims “flying through the
air” when the car crashed into the throng of people. “The car was like a bowling
ball and the human bodies were like pins,” she said.

Zimmerman said the driver had
intentionally mounted the kerb as many as three times during the incident, and
that charges were expected to be filed against her in coming hours. He gave no
indications of a motive but ruled out the possibility of terrorism.
