17 INJURED IN DRUNK DRIVER CRASH WITH BUS
NEW LOTS — SEVENTEEN PEOPLE WERE INJURED IN A TUESDAY AFTERNOON TRAFFIC ACCIDENT at the intersection of Pennsylvania and Livonia avenues, reports Gothamist, with no fatalities or serious wounds. Eleven of the injured were transported to local hospitals for evaluation, while six refused medical attention. The Daily News reports that the “chain-reaction” crash began when an allegedly drunk driver in a Lexus SUV made a turn and hit a Honda minivan. The SUV then hit multiple parked cars, while a city bus sideswiped the other vehicles involved in the crash.
The driver of the Lexus is reportedly in custody at Brookdale Hospital, with charges pending.
