Two cops were killed and four civilians were injured when a 2009 Nissan Altima overturned near 233rd Street early this morning. Five passengers were ejected from the car after it slammed into the guard rail, and one was pinned inside. The two officers were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, while the four others were rushed to Jacobi Hospital, where they are in serious but stable condition. Police closed to road for hours after the crash to investigate, and initial reports say the plain clothes officers were involved in a chase when they crashed.
