An NYPD SUV responding to a larceny call in the Bronx swerved to avoid a vehicle, but the front ends of the two vehicles clipped, sending the police cruiser careening onto a sidewalk.
An NYPD vehicle veered off a street in the Bronx following a collision and struck a group of people, leaving 10 hurt — including two children, according to police.
Police were responding to a reported car theft just after 3 p.m. Thursday in the Longwood section, police said. The officers were driving up Westchester Avenue when another vehicle stopped ahead of them to turn left at the intersection of Hoe Avenue. The police SUV crossed over onto the other side of the road to go around the car, but the driver of the other vehicle started to turn left and clipped the police cruiser as it went by, according to NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey. After the front ends of the vehicle clipped, the police SUV careened toward the sidewalk — right toward a group of people standing there.
A total of 10 people were hurt as a result, including six pedestrians, two police officers and two people who were in the other car that was struck, police said. Two of the injured were young children: A 5-year-old was struck on the sidewalk, and a 2-year-old was in the vehicle that was hit.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
