Here are more photos and details about yesterday's late-afternoon collision at Avenue A and Fourth Street.

According to witnesses, the cab was heading north on Avenue A when it was struck by an SUV traveling east on Fourth Street just past 5:30 p.m. 

Witnesses said the SUV was speeding when it hit the cab, then jumped the curb, striking the liquor store, taking out a postal relay box and a pay-by-plate touch-screen meter before coming to a stop against a tree.

The driver of the SUV was awake at the scene and transported to the hospital. There wasn't any update on his condition.

The cab driver (below, talking with police) and his passenger escaped serious injury. The passenger suffered a minor leg injury, while the driver, who asked for prayers, was not hurt.

Both vehicles were heavily damaged and not drivable. 

No pedestrians were injured — which, given the typically busy stretch of sidewalk near Key Food at that hour, is a miracle. 

The force of the collision ripped the SUV's front bumper off. 

A search of public records reveals that the owner has five recent moving violations, all of which occurred in Brooklyn. There are three for Failure to Display Meter Receipt, one for Blocking Crosswalk, and one for No Standing — Commercial Meter Zone.
