Nasty Accident Snarled Up the West Side

Were you stuck in crazy traffic on the west side last night? Here's why.

An out of control car (there's been a few of these lately, no?) jumped the barrier on the Henry Hudson Parkway, "knocked over a steel light pole and landed in oncoming traffic."

"It was crazy," one witness told the News, "it actually did look like a movie."

All four injured were taken to hospitals almost immediately. "The devastating chain of events was set in motion when a black car heading north took flight over the busy highway's median, flipped over and smashed into a gray Saturn heading south."

The Times also adds that though Police initially thought a body might have also been thrown into the Hudson river, a search by the Police Department's Harbor unit turned up nothing.

Yet another reason why we still haven't gotten our driver's license...
