A couple was killed and numerous other people injured just hours into the New Year when a deranged man driving a car filled with explosives barreled into a crowd leaving a rock concert in upstate New York, police said.

Law enforcement sources initially reported that the crash was being investigated as possible domestic terrorism but said Tuesday there was no terror link.

The fiery crash occurred at 12:50 a.m. outside the Kodak Center in Rochester, where roughly 1,000 people were filing out after a New Year’s Eve show by the rock band Moe.

Rochester officers were helping pedestrians cross the street when Michael Avery, a suspected bipolar man from Syracuse, sped his rented Ford Expedition toward the crowd and smashed into an Uber pulling out of a nearby parking lot, law enforcement sources said.
