Taxi jumps curb, plows into pedestrians in Midtown

By Bill King, Eyewitness News

NEW YORK (WABC) -- At least one person, a woman in her 20s, was seriously hurt when an out-of-control taxi jumped a curb and plowed into a group of pedestrians in Midtown Manhattan late Tuesday morning.

The incident happened at 49th Street and Sixth Avenue around 11:20 a.m.

The crash happened directly under a traffic camera, which showed the cab up on the sidewalk.

A bicyclist was also struck, and the cab and cyclist were pointing fingers on who caused the accident. Police are still investigating the circumstances. The cab driver was questioned at the scene, given 3 summonses and then released.
