Taxi strikes New York City restaurant, injuring several

Several people were injured when a taxi ran off of the road in midtown Manhattan on Thursday, colliding with a popular restaurant.

According to the New York Fire Department, eight people suffered non-life threatening injuries. Five were taken to nearby hospitals and three refused care.

Onlookers broadcast a live feed of the incident to the Citizen app, which showed the taxi stopped halfway through the front entrance at the Westville restaurant in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. Tables and chairs were upended surrounding the vehicle.

The taxi was reportedly rear-ended, according to the New York Times, forcing the vehicle off the road and onto the sidewalk. The cab has since been removed from the restaurant, and the fire department has extracted a bike from underneath the car.

Writer Ally Hord, who was inside the restaurant at the time, said on Twitter that it was a “miracle” no one was seriously harmed.

“The screaming and crashing noises were absolutely horrifying,” she wrote.

The New York City Fire Department, EMTs and other emergency responders remained on the scene.

Via cam.

I wonder how long it’ll continue. This live cam should offer the extend of it.

I’m assuming ESB cam is running on backup generators. Certain buildings that is.

So crazy that this is the 42nd anniversary of the 1977 Blackout.

“NBC News: It appears at this point that the large-scale power outage impacting approximately 20,000 in midtown and parts of the upper west side in Manhattan was caused by a tranformer fire at 54th Street and West End Avenue, a senior city official says. Situation is fluid.”

Kinda eerie when they are not on. Maybe it makes the artificiality of it much more apparent.
