Van Hits Livery Cab, Cab Hits Building, 7 Injured

Sigh. Yesterday afternoon, the Daily News reports, "A livery cab crammed with passengers crashed into a Washington Heights flower shop [at Broadway and West 157th]... when a van filled with seniors hit it." A delivery man for the florist said, "It was chaos out here, total chaos. A white van was coming toward the store to make a left or a U-turn. The van didn't wait for the light and the Town Car came down and hit the van, pushing him up the street, and the Town Car went straight into the store." The van ended up crashed into the center median. Seven people were injured, though not seriously. One lucky person was a female pedestrian, who wasn't hit but her shopping cart was "crushed".
