The owners of two cars parked in front of the school will be quite upset tomorrow. For no visible reason, the PSD SUV crashed into the vehicles as I walked past.
I saw the accident. I was next to the cars that were hit. There was not significant traffic on the road; I am uncertain why the accident occurred. The noise brought a number of the construction workers from the school out to look, but none of them owned thevehicles.
The driver was a female PSD officer. She hit both cars, then backed out and called forassistance. She was not injured, the other two cars were parked and their owners notimmediatelyapparent.
I sent the following message to Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department Director Keith Guerra and RIOC’s spokesperson:
I understand there was an accident involving a Public Safety vehicle hitting two parked cars in front of PS/IS 217 last evening.
Is that true? Was anyone injured and what was the cause of the accident.
RIOC’s spokesperson replied:
The accident did occur. Nobody was hurt.
The Roosevelt Island Daily Public Safety Report listed the incident as follows:
Vehicle Accident – At 645 Main Street. Vehicle accidently struck two parked vehicles. No injuries. NYPD filed a report.
