Four people were injured early this morning when a car slammed into 2A on the southwest corner of Second Street and Avenue A just after midnight. 

According to police sources, the male driver fled the scene but was arrested after a brief foot chase. The NYPD said the driver was not intoxicated.

A search of the plate via the How's My Driving NY site shows 50 violations on record for the car, including 18 for speeding and five for red-light infractions.

The vehicle struck the front of the building, causing visible damage to the exterior.

[Updated] An EVG reader shared this photo from the collision. The car slammed into a parked vehicle on Second Street, pushing it up onto the sidewalk and striking two people. Witnesses said the initial impact with the parked car may have prevented an even worse outcome.

An employee told EVG that no one inside the building was hurt, and there was no interior damage. 

The conditions of the injured people outside were not immediately known. 

This was the second collision along Avenue A in the past week. On Oct. 30, an SUV collided with a cab at Avenue A and Fourth Street before jumping the curb and traveling down the sidewalk. The driver was injured, but no pedestrians were struck in that earlier incident.
