Police say one person was killed and dozens more injured<span style="color: Red;">*</span>when a woman, apparently<span style="color: Red;">*</span>intentionally,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>drove her<span style="color: Red;">*</span>vehicle<span style="color: Red;">*</span>onto the sidewalk and<span style="color: Red;">*</span>plowed into pedestrians on Las Vegas' famous Strip late Sunday.
The female<span style="color: Red;">*</span>driver was taken into custody after the incident, which police say may have been intentional but was not an act of terrorism.
Few details about the woman were immediately known.
Lt. Peter Boffelli said<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the vehicle was in the northbound lanes of Las Vegas Boulevard near Bellagio Way when the driver went onto the sidewalk<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in front of the Paris Hotel & Casino, slamming into dozens of<span style="color: Red;">*</span>pedestrians.
According to<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Las Vegas Police Capt. Brett Zimmerman, the driver went onto the sidewalk and hit pedestrians at two different points. Zimmerman told NBC News she then drove the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>1996 Oldsmobile to a hotel and left it in a parking space.
A three-year-old toddler who was in the car and was<span style="color: Red;">*</span>unharmed, as was the driver, Zimmerman told the Associated Press.
Lt. Dan McGrath said police were working to determine if the woman was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Six of the pedestrians are in critical condition, 26 others were injured and<span style="color: Red;">*</span>four people were "treated and released,"<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Boffelli said.
Clark County Fire officials first<span style="color: Red;">*</span>received a call about the incident<span style="color: Red;">*</span>at 6:38 p.m. PT.
"This is a huge tragedy that has happened on our Strip,"<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Boffelli<span style="color: Red;">*</span>said.
