Three-Wheeled Motorcycle Crashes Into Brooklyn Park, Injuring 10

An NYPD probe is trying to resolve conflicting witness accounts about who drove the vehicle as investigators determine whether the crash was criminal.

Overview

  • The three-wheeled Can-Am drove into Commodore Barry Park near Flushing Avenue and Navy Street around 6:40 p.m. Sunday and ten people were taken to hospitals.
  • Four of the injured are in critical but stable condition and the other six are listed as stable, authorities said.
  • Police say a woman operating the trike lost control and struck pedestrians, but multiple witnesses told reporters the woman was a passenger and a man fled the scene on foot.
  • No arrests have been made and the NYPD says it is too early to conclude whether the crash was accidental or criminal as officers interview witnesses and examine evidence.
  • The crash happened during an evening park gathering and could prompt closer review of vehicle access and crowd safety at public events while victims recover.
