Report: Cab slams into the Staples on Broadway; 8 people injured

A cab crashed into the Staples on Broadway near Eighth Street this afternoon... Per WABC:

At 2:15 on Sunday afternoon, police say a taxi was trying to avoid a bike on Broadway and E. 8th St. when it slammed into the store. Except eyewitnesses say the driver ended up hitting a cyclist as well, taking the biker through the window.



WABC reports that eight people were taken to Bellevue for non-life-threatening injuries.
