At around 12:15 p.m. this afternoon, a taxi and another car were involved in an accident at 97th Street and Broadway. According to the FDNY, a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle and sustained head injuries. The identity of the victim is unknown, but they've been transported to St. Luke's Hospital. No injuries to the passengers in the vehicles were reported, and the NYPD couldn't tell us whether any criminality is suspected.
We'll update if we're able to obtain more information.
