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.

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.

When buildings attack! Yesterday, a 50-pound piece of "decorative terracotta" fell onto a BMW parked outside a Tudor City Place building. (When buildings are telling drivers to park in car parks?)
