I saw most of it. I was on a bike on St Marks behind several cars that had stopped at the red light.
ReplyDeleteThe truck pictured on St Marks in the last photo was in the intersection. Maybe it ran the red light, maybe it just was in the intersection when the light turned red, not really sure. The cab hit the truck near the right rear wheel, and the other car clipped the cab. People were looking after one guy who was sitting on the ground near the right rear door of the cab. Not sure if he was in the cab or was a nearby pedestrian.
Walked by and saw a lot of emergency vehicles. Cab was already loaded on a flat-bed. Lots and lots of debris everywhere. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteAt least Saifee dodge this one.
ReplyDeleteIs there really a question of what happened here? Even if the truck was in the intersection and passed a light what happened was that the cab driver was unaware of what was going on around him because he had somewhere else to be. The large volume of debris the extensive damage to the cab only meant the usual a cab traveling the streets of NYC at far too great an accelerated speed.
ReplyDeleteYou know though it's much better for the police to arresting Alec Baldwin for riding his bicycle around town than making our streets safer and getting those causing us harm and disability off them!!
To respond to today's daily news report by Detective Dennis Gonzalez- you're as much of an idiot as the two cops on site who arrested Baldwin. If you think arresting that individual for not having an ID isn't a waste of taxpayer resources and revenues than turn in your badge now and take an early retirement. You need not pad your retirement pension in unnecessary overtime hours further debilitating the economy of our country unjustly.

I'm sure it was the CitiBike on the grassy knoll.
ReplyDeleteYup. What the previous commenter said. Magic Citibike theory. CITIBIKE IS ALWAYS TO BLAME!!! When will Mayor DeStalino free our fair city from the jackboot of the two-wheeled menace?
ReplyDeleteDid that abandoned motorcycle on that corner get crushed? I've become fascinated with
ReplyDeletethis thing, its been sitting there for maybe a year now, the plates are expired from OR in Oct 2013. There is a tarp partly attached that just flutters in the wind...
