A taxi and a minivan collided in the southbound lane of Broadway at 79th Street tonight around 8 p.m., sending one person to Roosevelt Hospital with minor injuries, FDNY told us. Phil Vasquez, who took the photo above, told us that the taxi driver and the driver of the van appeared to be okay, but at least one passenger in the van was injured. The van was carrying a child who looked two or three years old — the child seemed to be okay, Phil said.
The NYPD didn’t have anything yet on the incident, but we’ll update if we learn more.
That is a horrible intersection, there are accidents there ALL THE TIME.. be careful when you walk there….
