Midtown taxi victim's foot amputated, dad says

By Bill King, Eyewitness News

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The father of Sian Green, who was hit by a cab in Midtown, told a local newspaper in England that doctors "have had to amputate what's left of her foot."

Emergency surgery was performed after the crash, which happened on 49th Street and Sixth Avenue just after 11 a.m. on Tuesday.

Sian Green, a 21-year-old who was visiting from Leicester with her friend Keshia Warren, had just arrived to the city and was enjoying a hot dog by Rockefeller Center at the time. Several passersby and witnesses were also being credited with helping save her life.

"Her friend Keshia is still in shock. We are a really close family we are all devastated by what has happened. We don't know what to say," her father Jason Green told the Leicester Mercury. "We just want to be at our daughter's side right now."
