Apparently the driver crashed his car on Hering Avenue near Burke in the Bronx, and witnesses saw two men running from the car. The driver was reportedly stabbed in the stomach and chest, and WABC 7 reports a trained EMT was lives nearby went to the scene. She said, "I applied pressure to the wounds...His intestines were hanging out. I just checked his pulse and kept him alive until the cops came."
