At least two people were killed and five others were injured in a possible terror attack.
A Ford Explorer filled with gas canisters smashed into a Mitsubishi Outlander around 12:50 a.m. on Jan. 1, as concert attendees left the Kodak Center in Rochester, New York.
The incident is being investigated as a possible terror attack, by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force.
The two occupants of the Explorer were killed. The driver of the Outlander survived.
One of the five surviving victims suffered life-threatening injuries, the chief said.
The blast occurred as attendees were leaving a concert by the rock band moe.
"Last night's events outside the Kodak Center have left us all in profound shock and sadness," the group said in a statement afterward. "On a night that was meant for celebration and togetherness, we are faced instead with a tragedy that defies understanding. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of those who lost their lives, and our thoughts are with those who were injured."
