Two Different Incidents, Pedestrians Hit at Same Intersection

According ot the Daily News, the first incident occurred by 12:30PM, when an elderly woman was hit at the East New York intersection. Then at around 2PM, a girl was hit by a cement truck. What are the odds of two people being hit at the same place within 90 minutes?

A witness said, "It was weird. It was the same spot, both women, not even in a long amount of time." And another person said, ""It's dangerous when they turn right here. The street is so narrow."
