This morning the FDNY responded to a freak accident at a parking garage on the Upper East Side, where a car fell down an elevator shaft with the driver inside. An FDNY spokesman tells us two workers in the garage were injured, but they're both currently in stable condition at Cornell Medical Center.
According to the FDNY, the accident occurred inside the East 76th Street parking garage at approximately 9:40 a.m. Details are still sketchy—it's unclear what the hell caused the accident, but the FDNY confirmed that the driver was rescued about an hour after the incident. The location, 355 East 76th Street, is a Hertz rental car business, and the manager on duty declined to comment on the incident. We'll update as more information becomes available!
