A car driving south on McDonald Avenue on Monday afternoon collided with the beams of an elevated subway station near Avenue I, causing the vehicle to spin out of control and flip over onto its side.
The crash occurred around 2:30 p.m. Firefighters arriving on the scene were able to extricate the driver, who was taken to Maimonides Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
It was unclear how the driver lost control. Within 20 minutes, emergency service officers righted the car and opened the busy avenue to traffic.
