Overview
- Police say the chain-reaction crash began when a Corvette traveling at high speed struck a Mercedes-Benz at West 204th Street and Sherman Avenue on Thursday morning.
- After the initial collision the Corvette hit a 34-year-old pedestrian and ran into a building while the Mercedes struck a parked car and a moped.
- First responders transported the Corvette driver, a passenger, and the struck pedestrian to hospital and all three were reported in stable condition.
- Officers at the scene observed damage to other parked vehicles, no arrests have been made, and investigators are searching for the Mercedes driver who left the scene.
- The NYPD closed the intersection during the probe, which highlights risks posed by high-speed driving on residential Manhattan streets and could lead to summonses or criminal charges as the investigation develops.
