A 28-year-old delivery man on a bicycle was struck by two cars in Manhattan last night. First, a Lexus struck him from behind at Eighth Avenue and West 47th Street around 10:15 p.m. A witness told the Post that the driver "rammed into the 28-year-old bike rider near 47th Street with an impact so violent that the cyclist's head knocked out the windshield on the passenger side." In spite of that, the driver did not stop and kept going. Then the delivery man was run over by a BMW SUV, whose driver stopped and remained at the scene. Update: It turns out the bicyclist was thrown under a BMW SUV, which was double parked. more ›

Police are searching for Barion A. Blake, 30, an ex-convict with previous arrests for stealing BMWs, who is wanted for questioning in regards to the man found Wednesday bound and gagged (with an ear partially torn off) in the back of a 2008 BMW M3 coupe. Apparently the theory that the whole thing was a car sale gone very wrong is looking to be correct. Further, it turns out the story also involves a car chase that ended with a police car flipped over into the snow. more ›

Police are still waiting for the guy found yesterday gagged in the back of a BMW to wake up and hopefully give them a better sense of how he got there and who the car's driver was (he fled on foot after crashing into a taxi).

An unidentified man was bound, gagged and unconscious in the trunk. The bruised man was brought to Harlem Hospital where he is listed in stable condition. Meanwhile, cops hope he will wake up soon and identify the driver, as the BMW appears to be stolen. more ›

Early Sunday morning, Manuel Tzajguachiac was killed in a hit-and-run in Bensonhurst, and police tracked the BMW SUV to an off-duty firefighter who "turned himself in" at the 62nd precinct hours after the accident.

The owner of a prototype BMW that was left parked and running under a tarp on Central Park West and triggered a bomb scare yesterday was issued a summons for idling his vehicle. Martin Birkmann, a BMW brand manager, had mistakenly left the oddly designed X3 prototype running while he and his girlfriend had a picnic in the park. The car apparently runs so silently that he didn't even notice. more ›

Police are looking for the driver of a BMW SUV who careened into a 58-year-old woman yesterday evening, tearing off part of her leg. Her 14-month-old grandson sustained cuts and bruises to the head. The woman was getting out of her car on West 139th Street near Fifth Avenue when, at about 6:30 pm, the hit-and-run driver mowed her down. According to the NY Post “the impact sent the woman flying with her shoes landing about 20 feet away.” Her son-in-law, who was getting the toddler out of the car, was knocked to the ground. He was treated and released but the woman remains in critical condition. more ›

Police believe drag racing caused a spectacular crash on Francis Lewis Boulevard that left two teens and 11-year-old boy hospitalized. Two cars, a BMW and a Lexus, were seen speeding around 11 p.m. last night when they knocked into each other, sending the BMW spinning into a parked van. Witness Peter Boudouvas tells CBS 2, "I saw one car bump the car on the left, took 2 or 3 spins, van moved 30 feet up. I jumped out, called 911 and asked nobody to move." According to ABC 7, police had to cut down a tree to get through to the wreckage. Another witness says the BMW was "doing 60 to 70 mph...Things like this happen all the time." The 18-year-old driver of the BMW and two male passengers, ages 18 and 11, were rushed to Booth Memorial Hospital in Queens. The 11-year-old is in critical condition, and the 16-year-old driver of the Lexus walked away with minor injuries. He was given a breathalyzer test (it came back negative) and is being questioned by police, but he's already in violation of the law for driving without a licensed adult in the car. more ›

The police released a photograph of the driver suspected of slashing a teen who put his bookbag on a BMW in the Bronx. Gabriel Quinones (pictured) remains in the hospital after being slashed on the face and neck; his lung was also punctured. The 16-year-old told the Daily News that he was just "leaning" on Kwame Ferguson's BMW, "I apologized, and he started cursing... I thought he was punching me, and I punched him back. I did not know I had been cut until my friend said, 'Oh, my God - you're bleeding!'" After a witness provided the license number for the BMW, police tracked down Ferguson, who told the police he would turn himself in later. Perhaps not that shockingly, Ferguson never did and the police are now asking for the public's help in finding him. UPDATE: Ferguson was arrested in Brooklyn today. more ›
