Girl Injured as NYPD Car Hits Her While Crossing the Street in the Bronx

Bronx, NY – While trying to cross a Bronx Street, a young girl was struck by a New York Police Department car heading east on Hunts Point Avenue just after 7 in the evening of June the 10th. Allegedly, the female victim stepped off a center traffic island when the police car swerved out of the way and accidentally knocked the girl to the ground, witnesses say. Paramedics arrived at the scene and transported the injured victim to Harlem Hospital.

Generally speaking, pedestrian accidents are caused by traffic accidents involving motor vehicles. As a matter of fact, pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to be vulnerable and seriously injured as opposed to motor vehicle occupants. Thus, both drivers and pedestrians should be extremely vigilant and cautious while on the road.
