No one saw what happened... just the aftermath... it appears at least one person was taken away on a stretcher. We haven't heard any reports of the extent of the injuries...

The new slow zone can't come fast enough!
I see drivers speeding and running red lights every day regardless of the weather, but I've been shocked at how many drivers seem to not adjust their speed to the weather conditions in the last couple of weeks. Looks like they assume it's fine to go through reds right now because they didn't have time to stop, rather than realize they don't have time to stop because they drive too fast for this weather.
Of course no idea what happened here; just making an observation about what I've been seeing every time I go outside. Agree with the Anon above about the slow zone and especially the speed bumps that will come with it. A speed restriction on its own sadly does little.
When is the slow zone coming to Avenue B? Great news, by the way. It's not a wide street, and people just barrel down it like they're driving on a racetrack.
why do they let such ugly cars drive on the streets? bloomberg would never have allowed that!

This corner's begging for a 24-hour webcam. Too bad it's not near Chittle's pad.
What an endless bunch of baby-prattle. New York is a big city there will be accidents. Turning the place into a 20 mph kindergarten is absurd. Compared to most other American large cities the streets here are safe and easy. Won't even get started to compare to most European cities, which are 10 times worse, south American cities which are 100 times worse, and goes on from there. Look both ways before you cross, get those headphones out of your damn ears, put that cellphone back in your pocket, and get with it you losers and mama-lukes.
The process of starting to implement the slow zone will begin with a DOT presentation to the Community Board in the early spring and the zone should be totally in place by the end of the year, if not sooner.
Someone couldn't handle their EVO. That's a shame. Those things usually drive themselves.

Amsterdam, London, Paris, Berlin, and Stockholm are all safer than NYC (at least for pedestrians). And for some reason things have been getting more dangerous for pedestrians the past several years (156 deaths last year and seven in the first 12 days of this year).
Were you the one making up CitiBike death statistics a couple of days ago?
