The restaurant was not open at the time, and the structure was empty. There weren't any reports of injuries. (Thanks to Stuart Zamsky for the first two photos.)
Police at the scene this morning did not have any further information about the collision and what led to it.
Derek Berg took this photo around 7:45... when the NYPD towed away the Revel, presumably an electric vehicle from the ride-hailing service...
Updated: A Revel spokesperson confirmed the details in this post, but declined to provide any further comment.

Hooray,3 more parking spaces.
ReplyDeleteKeep on going, Revel !
ReplyDeleteThat shed was built over the white street line marking. I reported it to 311 and the Dept of Transportation did nothing.
ReplyDeleteAt least the city can collect money on the metered spot now.
Interesting at 1:51 AM the city has done nothing so I'm finally glad the structures are going, I've seen an accident and everyday trucks and cars have to cross the double yellow at Ave B between 2 and 3 because of the massive structure that obnoxious eastpoint place has. Plus they put their big trash bins in front of the neighboring building. They are new jack Long Island types and think they own that part of the public sidewalk and street, it sucks.
ReplyDeleteWell yeah of course this happened!!! We have sheds in the middle of the streets! We have tables in the middle of the sidewalks. The city has literally allowed restaurants to take over and do whatever the F they want! Who cares about the residents? Especially when we can entertain bridge and tunnel jerks who litter every square inch of our neighborhood. We have become animals. And worse yet, we've gotten used to it.
ReplyDeleteGet rid of any free parking, put speed bumps at every intersection, keep pedestrianizing the streets. Cars now killing sheds as well as people.
