A close call on Avenue A as a car jumps the curb at 4th Street

We have received reports from readers of a vehicle that struck a cab on Avenue A at Fourth Street and jumped the curb, near the Untitled building. 

Witnesses claimed the car was speeding on Fourth Street, traveling eastbound, when it struck the northbound cab at A. (We'll have an update tomorrow.)

Thankfully, there weren't any reports of injuries along a typically busy stretch of sidewalk...
A USPS relay box was taken out on Fourth and A...
Anyone else witness this?

Avenue A is not a street large enough to be going fast enough to have to jump any curbs. Either they were driving recklessly or the cab driver was and this was an attempt to stop. Either way, someone should be going to jail because they easily could've killed a kid.
