Yesterday afternoon, a woman driving on Avenue I apparently barreled down the road, jumping the curb, going through a bus stop on McDonald Avenue and finally crashing into a deli. A witness told NBC New York, "She was speeding. She was flying." Six people were injured, and another witness said to the Post, "There was one man who was totally drenched in blood, head to toe."
The Post reports the driver was trying to make a left turn when she "suddenly went careening into a B11 bus stop" where many students were waiting. The driver hit the student then continued into the deli, Anisha Food, which had about ten customers—"Several of the injured had been sitting at window tables overlooking the street, drinking coffee or eating food"—inside at the time. The owner said, "Everybody was screaming. It was like a disaster in there."
The driver was questioned but not charged.
